Lumi Santana is a chef with the gift of synesthesia—she can perceive a person's emotions by tasting their cooking. Despite being raised by a single mother who taught her that dreams and true love were silly fairy tales, she takes a chance and puts her heart—and savings—into opening a fusion restaurant in Manhattan, offering a mix of the Dominican food she grew up with and other cuisines she's drawn culinary inspiration from.
But when Lumi's venture fails, she's forced to take a position as a sous chef at a staid French restaurant in midtown owned by Julien Dax—a celebrated chef known for his acid tongue and brilliant smile. Lumi and Julien don't get along, and she secretly vows never to taste his cooking. Little does she know that her resolve doesn't stand a chance against his culinary prowess.
As Julien produces one delectable dish after another, Lumi can no longer resist his creations. She isn't prepared for the intense feelings that follow, throwing a curveball in her plan to move on as soon as possible. Plus, there's the matter of Esme, Julien's receptionist, who seems to always be near and watching. And as the attraction between Lumi and Julien simmers, Lumi is shaken by a tragedy that complicates not only her professional plans, but her love life . . .
"This delightful debut charms the reader with its unique conflict, savory dishes, and engaging characters that warm your heart." —Priscilla Oliveras, USA Today-bestselling author of Kiss Me, Catalina
