Chef Max Vergaras’s culinary star is on the rise, but when his orphaned niece comes to live with him, expanding his restaurant empire is put on the back burner. He’s ill-equipped to handle raising a nine-year-old little girl, especially under the watchful eye of Elizabeth Teague, the social services caseworker assigned to them.

No matter how loveable the sexy, charismatic chef and his sweet, young niece might be.

Max and Lizzie could lose everything if they give in to temptation. But what if it’s possible for them to gain even more? What would they risk when love—and family—is on the line?
