“Too early seen unknown, and known too late.” ~Juliet Capulet Of all the women in the world, or at least in Bridgewater, why did I have to fall for this one? When she walked into my brother’s wedding reception, I fell quick and hard. Until I learned her name. Nope. No way. Not for me. I have no intention of dating my biggest competitor. The new owner of Mama Leoni’s Restaurant is clearly off-limits. But when a local newspaper links us as a couple, my brother suggests we play it up for “good press.” I agree. For the sake of my new restaurant. Not because the mere sight of Evie Fuller sets my blood on fire. Turns out the only thing more complicated than a fake relationship with my biggest rival is a real one. This situation has gotten out of hand much too quickly. Time to cool it down or risk getting burned.

Mecca—Bella loves dreaming up new sassy heroines and alpha heroes for readers to enjoy armed with a PhD she no longer uses and copious amounts of chai. Firmly House Stark, this Disney fanatic lives with her husband and two teens in Pennsylvania where she enjoys drinking pinot noir and planning girls trips.
