Yes, Chef - by Grace Reilly (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"Steamy, romantic, and deliciously fun! Yes, Chef is a delectable morsel of a summer romance and will keep you coming back for seconds." -B. K. Borison, #1 New York Times bestselling author

A tempting new romance from USA Today bestselling author Grace Reilly, in which a down-on-his-luck chef and a determined social media maven strike a reluctant deal to bring a beloved restaurant back to life.

If you can't take the heat...get out of the kitchen.

After a public meltdown in the dining room of one of Manhattan's most elite restaurants, Chef Jack Hartman is back in his South Florida hometown. Angry, grieving, and saddled with the unwanted storefront his late mentor left him, his life is spinning out of control. And that's before Poppy Winfield--the bubbly, infuriating daughter of his former boss--shows up at his dock.

Poppy needs to escape. From her family, her ex-boyfriend, and her reputation as someone who has never taken anything seriously. But more than that, she wants to prove herself--and she has just the plan to do it. Unfortunately, that plan involves Jack Hartman, the most arrogant, intimidating man she's ever had the pleasure of throwing a shrimp at.

Poppy proposes a deal: they work together to open a revamped version of his mentor's restaurant. Jack will handle the menu, and she'll use her social media influence to sell the hell out of its grand opening. If she and Jack can make it a success, it'll be a ticket for them both to return to New York.

Jack is intrigued, but only on his terms: If Poppy's going to do this, she must learn the ropes of the business. From him.

As sparks fly both in and out of the kitchen, Poppy and Jack are left wondering, could they be a perfect pairing? Or is this whole experiment a recipe for disaster?

Yes, Chef is a delicious contemporary romance featuring:

• A grumpy chef and a sunshine-y influencer
• Enemies to reluctant business partners to lovers
• Forced proximity in the kitchen (and on a houseboat)
• Found family, including one adopted cat
• Summer in a small town
• ADHD representation
