A charming big-city romance packed with heart, humor, and sizzling chemistry—perfect for fans of Debbie Macomber, Annie Rains, and Susan Mallery.

When Hollywood heartthrob Hank Haverill ducks into Bethany Parker’s restaurant kitchen to escape a swarm of fans, she doesn’t expect her quiet life to be flipped upside down. But this surprise encounter is just the beginning.

Hank may play a superhero on screen, but his real life is anything but heroic. With his TV show on the brink of cancellation, a lawsuit looming, and relentless pressure from his agent to launch a flashy fitness empire, he’s desperate to turn things around. And his newest investment—a downtown building he plans to turn into his brand’s flagship location—seems like the perfect move.

The only problem? Bethany runs her popular eatery out of that very building. And she’s not about to let a pretty face with a Hollywood smile shut her down.

Bethany couldn’t care less about fame or fortune—she’s focused on feeding the hungry, not Hank’s ego. But when their standoff turns into a game of wits, charm, and unexpected attraction, things start heating up in more ways than one.

Can Bethany convince Hank to sell her the building before she loses everything she’s worked for? Or will sparks—and stubbornness—get in the way? A fun, flirty, and fiercely heartfelt romance that proves sometimes the biggest battles lead to the sweetest victories.
