Book excerpt: Food is her passion, but he has the power to destroy her dreams... Willow’s restaurant has been trashed by a nasty review from an influential food critic. A handsome, nerdy, condescending celebrity chef who could crush her career with one sarcastic swipe of his pen. When Mr. Bigshot’s visit goes horribly and hilariously wrong, he calls Willow a spoiled rotten Princess, and calls her food much, much worse. Comparisons to mouse droppings have been made. Business starts to die, and Willow knows she must find a way to change the critic’s mind—or become the pitiful embarrassment of her successful family, and worse... risk letting down her closest friends and business partners. She invites the critic to her brother's wedding so that he can sample her catering. But the London-born, Indian chef is the most uptight, frustrating, grumpy, and impossibly hot man that Willow has ever met. The two drive each other insane every time they meet. Every word exchanged between them seems to be a snarky insult. There’s only one way this can end: in a ferocious food fight, or with someone getting taken on the dining table. A small-town, enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy with a guaranteed HEA. Sweet and steamy, over the top, lots of laughs.
