An Acquired Taste

- Blurb -

May the best chef win. . . After four years at the country' s top culinary school and several years as head chef in her mother' s restaurant, Rowan Townsend has built a notable reputation. Her farm-to-table collard greens have long been bringing everyone to the yard, but limits on the restaurant' s size have led to long waits. Looking to expand the restaurant, she enters a televised chef competition. The problem? Her infuriatingly-talented nemesis from culinary school also enters. To the culinary world, Knox Everheart is restaurant royalty. As much as Rowan wants to deny it, he' s a gifted chef. Rowan knows her arrogant arch-nemesis is confident he' ll win-he' s certainly given her a run for her money more times than she' d like to admit. But this time, she' s ready to show him who' s boss. Their rivalry soon sparks fireworks in the kitchen and, as the competition heats up, so does Rowan' s attraction to Knox. And somewhere between pasta and gumbo, they both need to decide what' s worth fighting for.
