THE BAD IN EACH OTHER

Sous Chef, Birdie Malone is willing to do anything to disprove the rumor that "she doesn't play well with others."

Even if it means taking a job as a line cook at a local meat-n-three while trying to be the superhero her daughter Amara believes her to be. Competing in her hometown's yearly foodie competition would definitely help. If she wins, she will finally get the position and recognition she's been desperate to receive. Even if Saxon Turner, the world-renowned chef and ruiner of her life, is one of the judges.

Chef Saxon Turner is in danger of having his foodie travel show canceled after he gets caught in a dark room with the Governor's daughter.

Luckily, a long-time friend steps in and offers him an opportunity to judge a foodie competition and a chance to lay low until it all blows over. Maybe this time he will be able to shed the bad boy image he's carried with him through most of his life.

Or at least he thought it would be until he saw that one of the contestants is Birdie Malone.

It's been five years since he's seen Birdie and now that she's back in his life, he can only hope that she will learn to trust him again.

Saxon is an unexpected and unwanted distraction. But the passion, intensity, and creativity he inspires in her can't be denied. Will she be able to keep him out of her bed and her head in the game?
