“A sizzling combination of heat and heart.” Barbara Freethy, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author

He’s sworn to go a summer without women. She’s given up on men. What could possibly go wrong?

Bachelor-about-town Jay Buchanan doesn’t want a woman in his life, but a guy’s gotta eat so he puts out feelers for a private chef. If the best applicant’s female, so what? More needs to come out of his Billionaire’s Beach kitchen in Malibu than peanut butter and beer, and he’s in no mood for romance anyway.

Long ago Nikki Carmichael learned to put up her guard when it comes to guys, and her new client, Jay Buchanan, is the manliest man she’s ever met. She figures ignoring his magnetism will turn him away…but instead it backfires, and Jay is only further intrigued by the woman who refuses to fall at his feet.

They flirt, they fight, they ultimately share a bed and then their deepest secrets…but can these two trust that what seems like a summer fling is truly the love of a lifetime?
