Yes, Chef

Jack Hartman's career in an elite Manhattan kitchen ends in a very public meltdown. He retreats to his South Florida hometown, where his late mentor has left him a restaurant that is barely staying open.

Help arrives from the one person he would rather avoid. Poppy Winfield is a bubbly social media influencer and the daughter of his former boss, and she wants to show she can do more than post pictures. Neither of them likes the idea, but the restaurant needs rescuing, so they agree to a deal.

The book is a contemporary romance with a grumpy hero and a sunshine heroine. Jack is guarded and short-tempered, while Poppy is relentlessly upbeat. Her ADHD is part of how she is written, and found family runs through the story.

The summer is spent in the kitchen, in long days of work side by side. A houseboat puts them closer together than either planned, and an adopted cat joins the household. Somewhere in between, the partnership starts to look like something else, and Jack has to decide whether he can let anyone stay close.
