She’s a chef who doesn’t cook... 
All the trouble started when Nora agreed to anonymously cater a fundraiser. She gave up cooking when her husband died and she had to sell their restaurant to pay the medical bills and return to Magnolia Valley. But when her friend asked her for a favor, she reluctantly agreed on the condition she remained anonymous. 

And that evening changes everything. 

It makes her want to start a restaurant again, unfortunately she doesn’t have the money. So, when the wealthy businessman Alek Novak offers to pay her lavishly to be his private chef for a few months, it seems like a dream come true.

He’s a billionaire businessman used to getting what he wants... 
Alek Novak is determined to hire the chef who catered the fundraiser—even if she doesn’t want to be found. He might be temporarily banished from society while a scandal dies down, but he does not intend to deny himself good food. 

What he isn’t expecting is to find his chef even more intoxicating than her food. Nora is entirely wrong for him, but he can’t seem to keep his distance. Soon she’s threatening his iron-clad control and he makes her an indecent offer that she can’t turn down—have a no strings attached fling before he goes back to Boston. 

But their passion is beyond anything they've known and awakens their long-neglected hearts. But when all of the troubles Alek left Boston to escape arrive in Montana, it threatens to destroy their growing love… 

Will these opposites be able to defy all odds and find true love?

My Review  5 STARS
**My thanks to the author for providing me with a free copy for an honest review**

This book is just as good as the previous two books.

Nora we have met in previous book as a resident of Magnolia Valley.  Alek Novak however we only met a little in the previous book when she catered to an event in which Alek fell in love with her cooking.

We get to see more from previous characters but Caine features more of as a friend and we discover that he will feature in the next book.

Alek and Nora seem to have chemistry from the beginning when Nora agrees to work for Alek as his cook.    We get surprises, betrayal and hatred along with love and friendship in this story.

I have really enjoyed every book in the series and really look forward to seeing how Caine and Quinn get together.
