Cooking Up My Comeback (Twin Waves #1)

Sunny single mom + grumpy protective silver fox + forced proximity = one sizzling slow burn

Amber:

When the health inspector shut down the diner I manage, I lost more than my paycheck. Suddenly, I’m standing in the wreckage of the life I’d been drifting through, with three hungry kids, a stack of my grandma’s recipes, and no backup plan.

When the health inspector shut down the diner I manage, I lost more than my paycheck. Suddenly, I’m standing in the wreckage of the life I’d been drifting through, with three hungry kids, a stack of my grandma’s recipes, and no backup plan.

But Amber’s not just another project. She’s stubborn, strong, and more capable than she realizes. And the more time I spend with her—and her kids—the harder it is to imagine leaving when the work is done.

She’s sunshine with a side of sass. He’s grump with a hammer. Together, they might just build something worth keeping.
