Upon winning the contest, Lily decides to attend on her own. After all, an evening with sexy Chef Matteo Rinaldi is too good to pass up. And there’s nothing wrong with a bit of harmless flirting over Champagne and zabaglione.
Stressed out by cookbook deadlines and living out of a suitcase, Matteo is feeling lost and alone. When Lily walks into his kitchen, something changes. His evening with her renews his passions, in more ways than one.
The heat in the kitchen leads to a scorching one-night stand. But when morning comes, will Lily and Matteo still feel the flames?
