About this book
Walker is the enigmatic, brooding executive chef of a billion-dollar restaurant empire, but his passion for cooking has long since soured into a nightmare of endless pressure. Exhausted and disillusioned, he seeks a temporary, no-strings-attached escape through a dating app, where he crosses paths with Alivia. Their encounter is meant to be a fleeting, two-night diversion—a moment of pure, fiery connection between two people desperate to forget their burdens. Alivia is a woman fighting for survival, juggling multiple jobs while enduring an abusive home life. Her world turns upside down when she lands a position at a prestigious restaurant, only to discover her new boss is none other than the man from her brief, passionate weekend escape. Now trapped in a high-stakes, close-proximity working relationship, the "grumpy" chef and his "sunshine" employee must navigate the intense chemistry that still burns between them. This gripping, age-gap romance explores the journey of two damaged souls finding solace in one another. As secrets surface and the professional lines blur, Walker and Alivia must decide if their connection is strong enough to survive their respective pasts or if their intense spark was only ever meant to be temporary.

See all formats and editions A spicy grumpy-sunshine, age-gap, close-proximity romance from USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann... I'm the mysterious one. The angriest alphahole who never bends. And she's the woman who will bring me to my knees. As the executive chef and face of my family's billion-dollar empire, time is the one luxury I don't have. With endless responsibilities and nonstop demands, I lost my passion and love for the art of cooking. What used to be my dream job is now my worst nightmare. I was ready to walk away and give up everything we'd built.. Until Alivia happened. She was supposed to be a temporary diversion so we could satisfy each other's desires and then never see each other again... Yet I knew she was different right away. A woman who was my complete opposite, the calm to my storm. The sunshine to my darkness. With a body that left me speechless. What I didn't see was how much we both craved a break. Me from a career that would eventually kill me, her from an abusive home life. When two people in pain connect, an explosion erupts. That was us. All fire and longing, mixed with a genuine need to seek shelter in one another's arms. While I'm still savoring the taste of her on my lips, I see her again unexpectedly and wonder... is our connection enough to surpass the secrets between us, or were we only meant to have those two nights together? ) ©2025 Marni Mann (P)2025 Mann Publishing LLC Previous slide of product details 1.
