Turning Up the Heat: A Sizzling Modern Romance

Kelsey Rankin has worked for years to earn her reputation as one of the best writers at California’s top food and wine journal. She’s left her rural roots in wine country and moved to the city to pursue her dreams.

Then a work trip back home to cover the fall harvest season puts her right in the path of Chef Oskar Olson, an internationally recognized chef and the newest resident of her hometown. Chef Olson is her brother’s new winery partner… and one of the most attractive men that Kelsey’s ever met.

Oskar knew he wanted a break from big city life when he moved to a small town. He’s spent years building a reputation and relationships with farmers, ranchers, and winemakers in his new home. He wants to make his restaurant one that people talk about, and a review from Kelsey’s magazine might push his restaurant into the spotlight.

One explosive night could change everything for these two food professionals and make them question everything they think they want.
