Jane is a freelance editor and adjunct English professor whose best friend—this year’s Heart Healthy Women chairperson—begs her to write an article for their fundraising cookbook and celebrity dinner. She’s not thrilled about it but reconsiders when number six from Spring City’s Top Ten most eligible bachelors under thirty makes her a promise that his sugar sweet sticky buns are not only mouth-watering, but will make her moan with one bite. How can she say no, even if he is significantly younger than her? Christof is one of the top restauranteurs in Spring City, and while he might be young, he's also successful, experienced, and confident about what he wants—and the sexy, snarky editor is exactly what makes his water boil. He hasn’t gotten where he is today by letting something like age stand in his way, and he’s going to pull out all the tricks to have her moaning after one taste of what he has to offer. The kitchen isn’t the only place they get hot and steamy, but when she meets his mother, an old colleague, and a girl she babysat as a toddler at the celebrity dinner, can she handle their age difference since he makes her feel things she’s never felt before? *Slightly modified version being read on Read Me Romance podcast.* **This was original published as part of the charity anthology, Holiday Heart-On, listed October 2022**
