Ash Kincaid knows how to handle the heat. Falling for her biggest rival's mother? That's a fire she never saw coming.

At thirty-five, Ash has poured everything she owns into Ember, her fiercely independent Richmond restaurant. She works impossible hours, trusts practically no one, and has exactly one professional enemy: Margot Beaumont, the polished restaurateur who hired away her best chef.

Then her brother signs her up for pottery lessons.

Colette is fifty-seven, devastatingly beautiful, effortlessly sophisticated, and completely unimpressed by Ash's need to control everything. With silver-blond hair, wicked hazel eyes, and a mouth Ash can't stop thinking about, she's the most intoxicating distraction Ash has ever encountered.

Their attraction is immediate. Their chemistry is impossible to ignore.

And their first real kiss ends with a horrifying discovery.

Colette Beaumont is Margot's mother.

Now Ash is falling hard for the one woman she should never touch, while Ember and Lark compete for a contract that could transform their futures.

Colette refuses to sacrifice her happiness to her daughter's rivalry. Ash refuses to risk the restaurant she's spent her life building.

But when suspicion threatens to destroy everything between them, Ash must decide whether protecting her heart is worth losing the woman who finally makes her want a life beyond the kitchen.

An intensely passionate, emotionally rich sapphic age-gap romance featuring a commanding older woman, a stubborn younger chef, forbidden attraction, explosive chemistry, and a hard-earned happily ever after.

Standalone romance. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed.
