About this ebook

The national bestselling author of The Inheritance continues her “female bonding romance series like the Bride Quartet by Nora Roberts” (Kirkus Reviews).
Sometimes you go in search of a new beginning. Other times, it finds you. Tonya Martin enjoys her job as a professional chef for a Wall Street bank—until the day she finds herself suddenly downsized. But a spontaneous trip to New Orleans opens up a new opportunity. With time on her hands and her daughter soon graduating college, Tonya has the chance to reach for her own long-cherished dream—opening a restaurant on her friend Hannah’s beautiful Garden District estate.

While Hannah and her new husband work on transforming the DuPont House into a luxury inn, Tonya explores local cuisine, taking an apprentice role at famed restaurant Chez Toussaints. Gage Toussaint’s mix of Creole, Cajun, and African ancestry is deeply attractive, and the sexy chef clearly wants their friendship to become much more. Drawn to him, Tonya wonders if it’s too late to leap into love again. Could Gage be just the ingredient she needs to make this delicious new life complete?

Ratings and reviews

The attraction is as spicy as the backdrop in Rochelle Alers', Breakfast in Bed. Love and fresh starts don't have an age limit. The romance is more mature but still as electric as ever. New Orleans is a hodgepodge of cultures, suspense and delicious cuisine. Why not make it the capital of romance as well?

Hard to resist a story that combines the magical mystique of New Orleans with the thrill of finding love and the fulfilment of a lifelong career dream. Gage and Tonya's journey from friends to soulmates is a trip that had me adding great music to my favorite playlist and salivating over amazing food descriptions that practically sizzled off the pages of this amazing book! Can't wait to read the rest of this sensational series.

Such a good read. Will probably read over and over again.
