Two cocky chefs.

Two rival restaurants.

One night that changes everything…

I hate Emmett Fox.

I hated him ten years ago, back when he was my nemesis at culinary school.

I hate him even more now that he's the executive chef at the biggest rival restaurant in New York City.

When our paths cross again after years of not-so-friendly competition, I'm full of rage. Between his chiseled frame and piercing blue eyes, Emmett's easily the hottest thing in my kitchen — including the custom gas range that roasts at temperatures exceeding 800 degrees.

Wait.

Hold on.

It is rage I'm feeling, right?

Because I hate Emmett Fox.

…Don't I?
