Synopsis
Choco Sanchez is stuck in a rut. She’s never hit a softball and has been friends forever with Carlos Lopez, the head cook at her family’s Filipino restaurant. When flashy restaurant consultant Johnny Dee hits her with a pitch, she falls head over heels and gets a makeover.
Carlos Lopez is not about to lose one for the home team. When Johnny launches a full scale change on the menu, Carlos sends him straight into the dumpster. Claiming Choco’s heart proves more difficult, especially when her secrets threaten to doom their love. But never underestimate a man who can cook hot, spicy, and steamy, and we ain’t talking just food.
Steamy love scenes and language. Suitable for readers 18+.

Excerpt
“Stop.” Miranda waves a spatula and blocks
our way. “No members of the wait staff allowed in the kitchen.”
“I need another order of vegan spring
rolls. No meat!” Sarah yells.
“She stole my gluten-free bangus.”
Susie pushes her way past Miranda, who bounces against the door to the cold
room, opening it.
“Out, out of the kitchen.” Miranda sticks a
finger in Susie’s chest. Big mistake.
Susie’s nostrils flare and her piercings
dance. “Out of my way.”
With a hefty push, she shoves Miranda who
stumbles back into the cold room. Her arms windmilling, she falls in between
the sides of raw pork belly hanging up to dry.
“Ai ya!” Miranda slaps at the pork bellies
and pulls on a trussed whole duck for balance, right when a wooden tray of balut,
fertilized duck eggs with the intact embryo, falls and splatters over her. The
slime and partially formed embryos ooze down her hair and face.
Everyone except Johnny bursts out laughing.
I whip out my cell phone and snap as many pictures as I can before Johnny
blocks my view to help his mother.
Out of nowhere, Carlos appears, and he
gives Johnny a kick on the back of his tight leopard printed butt, sending him
sprawling against the skewered suckling pigs. They tumble like dominoes,
knocking Johnny on top of his balut-covered mother.
Carlos picks up a tray of the Vietnamese
style transparently wrapped no-fry spring rolls and flings the contents into
the cold room all over Johnny and Miranda. “Vegan spring rolls is off the
menu.”
