Falling for her father’s best friend is a recipe for disaster. Tessa Cordeiro never planned to move back to the town she’d left behind as a child. But when her estranged father offers her a deal that could kick-start her culinary career, she makes herself a promise: She won’t let herself fall in love with the town of Aster Bay—or her father’s best friend. Even if he was the most unforgettable one-night stand of her life. Jameson Chase has called Aster Bay home for nearly twenty years, but despite owning the most popular restaurant in the area, he can’t fight the feeling that he doesn’t belong. Chairing the local food and wine festival is his chance to earn a permanent place in the small town, but when his new co-chair turns out to be the unpredictable woman he can’t stop thinking about—and his best friend’s daughter—the most important friendship in his life and his place in town are both at risk. As their attraction grows and secrets are revealed, can they keep the heat in the kitchen—or will the sparks between them send both their lives up in flames? Whisking It All is a standalone, steamy, small town, father’s best friend romance featuring trash-talking grandmas, found family, food as love language, You’ve Got Mail vibes, and a guaranteed HEA.
