Lucy McLean arrives back in her hometown with her confidence shattered. She's been dumped and fired by her fiancé (who was also her boss), but she has more than a broken heart to contend with: her parents' restaurant is failing so they're taking part in a television contest run by hothead celebrity chef, Quinn Allen. Distracted and distraught, Lucy struggles to embrace the contest, but as she gets back on her feet, she's slowly charmed by the attention of the handsome, famous chef. The two of them grow close, but being together would end Quinn's TV career and doom her family restaurant. Can she wait until the show is over, or will she give in to the heat of Quinn's kitchen?

Out of His League: Book Two (18+) by jsteph0214

"It's always been you, Phoenix. You are the one who makes me the happiest. Just being in the same room as you gives me god damn butterflies. Hearing the sound of your voice makes me feel safe and protected. And when you left for college, home didn't feel like home anymore. That's when I realized that home wasn't just a house or a place you live at...for me, it was you." Scarlett Wolf has the looks of her father but the sass, class, and kindest soul from her mother. She wears her heart on her sleeve and there is only one person on earth who takes up the biggest part of it. The one who she has been desperately in love with since diapers and the one who has never seen her as anything other than just a little girl. Phoenix Zeller has the rugged looks, charm, and cluelessness from his father but the passionate and protective heart from his mother. He's serious and stubborn at times, but when he finally opens up, he is the biggest sweetheart you'll ever know. And just when he thinks he has a good grasp on life, a little "Wolf" will come along to flip his world upside down in the best way possible. **This is book two of my "Out of" series.
