Book excerpt: Jorden wasn’t into chicks with babies. Or at least he never had been. Chef Jorden Demetri has no shortage of women on his dating menu, but there’s only one dish he wants right now. Single mom Diana Rosalen has caught his attention as she serves customers at Albero’s Restaurant where they both work. Despite her difficult past, she always has a smile on her face, and the way she takes care of her daughter, Camilla, makes Jorden want to keep them both. But is he capable of commitment? Jorden’s own parents weren’t the best examples, and the word family doesn’t conjure up good memories. Diana notices Jorden. Of course she does. Everyone notices Jorden. He’s charming, funny, and an amazing chef. He also has women lining up to be his next snack. Diana doesn’t want to take a number. Besides, her life is pretty full with working, being a mother, and developing an organic baby food company. She’s got big hopes and even bigger dreams. When Jorden is at the right place at the right time to help Diana, however, she discovers there may be more to Maplehaven’s sexiest chef. Is one kind wish enough to make dreams come true?
