A hotshot chef stirs up trouble for a fiery food critic when he learns her secret in this "lighthearted and entertaining" romance debut (Fresh Fiction).

"The simmering chemistry comes to a boil in this deliciously sensual and delightfully amusing debut." -- Orlando Sentinel

For sharp-tongued food critic Miranda Wake, the chance to spend a month in Adam Temple's kitchen to write an exposé is a journalistic dream come true. Surely Miranda can find a way to cut the hotshot chef down to size once she learns what really goes on at his trendy Manhattan restaurant. But she never expected Adam to find out her most embarrassing secret: she has no idea how to cook.

Adam's not about to have his reputation burned by a critic who doesn't even know the difference between poaching and paring. He'll just have to give the tempting redhead a few private lessons of his own -- teaching her what it means to cook with passion... and doing more with his hands than simply preparing sumptuous food.

"Can't Stand the Heat... never loses its steam, which isn't common in a debut novel. The action never drags, the characters hold my interest." -- Columbus Dispatch
