She ran to protect him. Now she has to stay to save him.
Callum Reid is about to lose everything he's built. Six months from foreclosure, the restaurant he's poured years into is slipping through his fingers.
So when his investors insist on bringing in a consultant, the last person he expects to walk through the door is the woman who disappeared on him five years ago. She hung up her own chef's coat for good, and now she's back to tell him how to run his kitchen. He let her in once. He's not about to make that mistake again.
Vivienne Lane never expected to end up here. Not in Westerly Point, not at this restaurant, and definitely not face to face with the man she's spent five years trying not to think about. But she's the best in the business, and she's not about to start failing now. Even if staying means facing exactly what she ran from.
The clock is ticking on the restaurant, and the only way to save it means sharing a kitchen. And it doesn't take long for the pull between them to become impossible to ignore again. Except now everything is on the line, a secret is still buried, and there's so much more to lose.
When the truth about why Vivienne left finally surfaces, Callum has to decide if he can risk loving a woman who might walk away again. And Vivienne has to decide if she's finally brave enough to stay. Can they survive a second chance, or will old wounds sink them both?
