Whatcha got cookin’, good-lookin’?

After getting her heart broken, Carly Hanover believes the only person she can trust is herself. She works hard to become an executive chef and dreams of opening her own restaurant. But after being blackballed in the culinary world for losing her temper with a customer, that dream starts to fade . . . until she stumbles upon a rundown diner in Bliss, Texas, that could make all her wishes come true. The only one standing in her way is the owner—a headstrong rancher who is convinced Carly needs rescuing. And the truth is, she does. But can she finally let go of her past hurt and trust a cowboy hero for the job?

Everyone thinks Zane Arrington has the perfect life. He owns a successful cattle ranch, is married to the homecoming queen, and just bought the best breeding bull this side of the Pecos. But things aren’t going as well as they seem. His wife ran off. His prize bull can’t get it up. And the new cook he hired is distracting him from solving these problems with her good cookin’, sexy little tattoos, and smart—but very kissable—mouth. It will take Zane embracing the crazy chaos for him to figure out that he doesn’t need a perfect life as much as the perfect wife.
