She needs a fresh start. He wants a second chance...




My new job as a chef in a small town was supposed to be my ticket to peace and quiet. I didn't expect to run into the former hockey star who gave me the hottest nights of my life. And, oops, he's sort-of my new boss. So much for keeping my past where it belongs.




Ty still thinks I'm the fun party girl. He has no idea how much things have changed. One thing that hasn't changed: the spark between us. It's hotter than the blowtorch I use on my crème brûlée.




I'm already keeping secrets, so what's one more? Our tryst is forbidden, it's fun, and it gets complicated as fast as you can say "check, please." I didn't expect to have a future with Ty. And I definitely didn't expect to have a baby with him. Some falls are harder than others. But it depends on who's there to catch you...
