Book Description
My new billionaire boss has a “one fork” rule: never date employees. Too bad we broke it the night before my interview when I thought he was just a hot guy at a wine bar.
Now culinary billionaire Christian Finn is my boss with no clue his new “authenticity consultant” is the same woman who rated his… skills… five stars.
As his cameras follow me around NYC’s hottest kitchens, my sisters keep video-calling at the worst moments, Nonna’s planning our wedding from Seattle, and that kiss in his penthouse kitchen definitely violated company policy.
HR nightmare? Absolutely forked…
A full-length stand-alone. Perfect for fans of one-night-stand-to-more romance, billionaire bosses, foodie heroines, big Italian families, and guaranteed HEAs.

“With who?”
“Some culinary consulting firm. Super hush-hush. Might actually be run by Gordon Ramsay in disguise.”
