When Chef Max Vergaras's orphaned niece comes to live with him, expanding his restaurant empire is put on the back burner. He's not equipped to handle raising a little girl, especially under the watchful eye of Elizabeth Teague, the social services caseworker assigned to them. Things have never been more complicated, and that includes his feelings for the cute blonde he's quickly falling for. Lizzie's everything he wants, and nothing that he can have.
Lizzie Teague can't get distracted by one case, even if her new client Max has a way with food that has her thinking about things that definitely aren't on the menu. With her career on the line, she has to remember why she took this job in the first place. It certainly wasn't to fall in love, no matter how irresistible the sexy, charismatic chef and his sweet, young niece might be.
Max and Lizzie could lose everything if they give in to temptation. But what if it's possible for them to gain even more? What would they risk when love—and family—is on the line?
