A spicy grumpy-sunshine, age-gap, close-proximity romance from USA Today best-selling author Marni Mann …
I’m the mysterious one. The angriest alphahole who never bends. And she’s the woman who will bring me to my knees.
As the executive chef and face of my family’s billion-dollar empire, time is the one luxury I don't have. With endless responsibilities and nonstop demands, I lost my passion and love for the art of cooking. What used to be my dream job is now my worst nightmare. I was ready to walk away and give up everything we’d built …
Until Alivia happened.
She was supposed to be a temporary diversion so we could satisfy each other’s desires and then never see each other again …
Yet I knew she was different right away. A woman who was my complete opposite, the calm to my storm. The sunshine to my darkness. With a body that left me speechless.
What I didn’t see was how much we both craved a break.
Me from a career that would eventually kill me, her from an abusive home life.
When two people in pain connect, an explosion erupts. That was us. All fire and longing, mixed with a genuine need to seek shelter in one another’s arms.
While I’m still savoring the taste of her on my lips, I see her again unexpectedly and wonder … is our connection enough to surpass the secrets between us, or were we only meant to have those two nights together?
Walker and Alivia meet when he is questioning everything, when he has stopped feeling like he is in the right place, and like he is getting buried in all of the responsibility. There was something relatable to him for me, and I think for a lot of people, the idea that what you want needs to keep evolving.
Alivia is the evolution of it, and she is also who shows him the way to getting back what she wanted.
They are perfect for one another, and their connection is strong from the beginning, but there is also a depth to this title that makes them both appealing as people, together and apart.
I enjoyed and recommend this title.
