#1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery turns up the heat with this reader-favorite Fool’s Gold novella about food, finding yourself and falling in love; originally available only in the Fool’s Gold Cookbook, now available to be enjoyed as a standalone short story.

Ana Raquel’s greatest passion is food: she’s a gifted chef with the experience to prove it. Armed with an Airstream trailer-turned-mobile-kitchen, she’s back in her hometown of Fool’s Gold, California, ready to make her dreams of running her own kitchen come true. There’s just one problem—one tall, dark-eyed, utterly exasperating problem: Greg Clary, her archnemesis.

Greg has always one-upped her at everything. He even has a restaurant in Fool’s Gold that’s wildly successful. And when the mayor asks Ana to collaborate with Greg on a cookbook, she’s forced to confront her unresolved feelings for him. Ana can craft the most delicate soufflé, but can she navigate the desire of her own heart?
