Taste

Ellie Fournier and Gianni Lupo have known each other all their lives and neither considers the other anything but trouble. Ellie works at her family's winery in a small town in northern Michigan, and Gianni is a cocky, charming chef on the rise in the culinary world.

When a blizzard strands them at a roadside motel with only one bed, their rivalry turns into a night neither planned. Weeks later Ellie learns she is pregnant. Gianni insists on doing the right thing, but Ellie does not want to be an obligation and wonders whether he is simply settling for her.

As the pregnancy goes on, Gianni shows her what a shared life could look like, and both have to face how afraid they are of commitment and of falling in love. Taste is a light, banter-filled enemies-to-lovers romance with a surprise pregnancy, published in 2022 as part of Melanie Harlow's Cloverleigh Farms world, and it can be read on its own.
