Love on the Vine
He’s the hot, older man she’s been fantasizing about for months…
Olivia Peterson never expected to fall for her father’s long-lost childhood friend. But when Jake Vos shows up for Christmas dinner looking more edible than a five-course meal, she momentarily forgets her name and her better judgment. One of the most celebrated names in the wine industry, Jake is so blown away by Olivia’s culinary talents that he offers her a job for the summer in the south of France.
Olivia decides to make the most of her time abroad by going after what she wants: a spot in the best culinary school in Paris and a summer fling with her temporary boss. He may be the one giving her lessons in taste, but she’s determined to give him a taste of love.
She’s supposed to be off-limits…
At first, Jake keeps his distance–and a permanent scowl on his face. But little by little, Olivia breaks through his carefully-constructed reserve and he soon finds himself craving more than just her food. When he finally gives in to his growing attraction, he vows it will be ‘just one taste.’
He soon discovers, however, that one taste will never be enough.
Love on the Rocks
American chef Callie McGinn has always known what she wants: her own restaurant in a big European city, at least one Michelin star, and her name on a 30 Under 30 list of influential women in the food industry. So when she gets the opportunity to open a restaurant at a five-star resort on an obscure Greek island, she doesn’t think twice about accepting it.
But once she arrives, her new life is off to a rocky start. Her house is an ancient ruin, her neighbors are goats, and her island nemesis–the handsome, broody local doctor–is determined to put her on the next ferry back to Athens. He just won’t leave her alone, and neither will that pesky pang of desire she gets every time he’s around.
Nikos Laskaris has one goal: to put a stop to the construction of the mega-resort on the shores of his beloved island. And if that means making the new project manager as miserable as possible, so be it. The only problem is, he didn't expect the project manager to be a woman. . .and certainly not one who takes his breath away with her tantalizing curves, wicked sense of humor, and hard-headed determination to win the locals over with her magical food.
When they’re thrown together in a rainstorm, loathing turns to longing. Suddenly, Nikos is no longer chasing Callie away, but chasing after her.
