Lulu Cavanaugh's a liar.

The moment she lost her job running the fanciest restaurant on Maui, Lulu threw herself into recovery-mode. She's pitched a cooking show, and as soon as it gets the green light, she'll come clean to her family. Prodigy chefs don't fail--so she's waiting until she has the kind of news that will blow them away.

Alexander Wilder flamed out.

An injury cut short the quarterback's promising career, but he's determined to find his way back--even if it means swerving in the most unexpected way. So, when a producer offers him a cooking show, he takes it. He grew up in his mom's restaurant, so he knows his way around a kitchen, and it'll give him much-needed visibility...why not?

Lulu nails her audition. But before she can pop open the champagne in celebration, the producers drop a bomb: they're giving her a co-host. And she can pretty much take it or leave it, because the quarterback's got the starring role.

What happens when these enemies become lovers?

Heat so hot even the kitchen can't stand it.
