The Last Chef Standing

<p><strong>When a ruthless billionaire with a talent for firing chefs meets the one woman who refuses to be intimidated the only thing more unpredictable than his temper is the heat rising in his own kitchen.</strong></p><p>Alexander Reed has rules. Too many of them according to everyone who's ever worked for him. He likes his schedules tight his meals perfect and his emotions nonexistent. Which explains why no chef has ever lasted more than seven days in his house-and why he fully expects Pepper Malone to be gone before the week is over.</p><p>Pepper however did not read the memo.</p><p>She talks back. She changes the menu. She seasons like she's trying to start a rebellion. And worst of all-she doesn't care that he's a billionaire. She cares that he eats food with the emotional range of a stapler and she intends to fix that with butter heat and sheer force of personality.</p><p>He thinks she's chaos.<br>She thinks he needs therapy.<br>The kitchen thinks they're going to burn the whole place down.</p><p>But the longer she stays the stranger things start to feel-like the way he watches her work the way she softens without meaning to and the way neither of them can decide whether they want to argue... or kiss. And suddenly the man who fires everyone might finally be the one getting undone.</p>
