After Julie Delgado's restaurant closes, she temporarily takes over the catering position at the Rose Chalet, a full-service San Francisco wedding venue. She plans to dazzle the bride and groom so the Chalet's owner will keep her around, but fate has other plans for her when the bride's brother shows up for the first food tasting.

Andrew Kyle is not only the Cuisine Channel's Edgy Eats host and chef, but his recent review of Julie's restaurant was the final nail in its coffin. Once he meets Julie at the Rose Chalet, he's certain she's playing it safe. And he wants nothing more than to be the one to break her guarded passions loose.

But despite the undeniable sparks between Julie and Andrew-and the fact that he seems to believe in her when no one else does-can she afford to be taking risks with her cooking, with her career...or with her heart?

"You're wrong. I don't like you this close," I say, arms crossing tightly. Mateo mirrors me, leaning against the opposite counter with maddening calm. "That makes two of us." I sigh, rolling my eyes. "Quit staring and get back to work." *** Andreea didn't expect her summer job to be the most thrilling one, but she sure as hell didn't anticipate being in such steady proximity to her temperamental pseudo-boss. On the other hand, the neat and well-organized Mateo is working in his father's restaurant, a role he has held long-term. He would've never foreseen a clumsy girl breaking the routine he's used to, and even less so that a long-buried feeling would resurface. Is the mutual hatred just a veil over a much more ardent feeling? Do opposites indeed attract? And what happens when a buried secret threatens to tear everything apart? Broken doorknobs, blue vehicles, and shared passions. Your cliché love & hate story that'll keep you hooked from the beginning.

Josephine McMaster is pretty and smart, but very much a klutzy mess. Finally, at 26, she may have actually lost the dreaded 'McMaster the Disaster' nickname that has followed her around her whole life. Josie's quite content to be single, much to her mother's disappointment. So when a bizarre contest is announced where a socialite is holding a lottery to pick her bridesmaids (and rake in a little extra cash), she can't roll her eyes fast enough, even if it does mean meeting Jake Hall, her one and only movie star crush. Obviously, Josie doesn't enter the bridesmaid lottery, so you can imagine her surprise when her picture pops up among the winners, thanks to Mom. With a little prodding -- okay bribing -- Josie agrees to participate. The wedding turns into the event of the year, and Josie finds herself in the middle of a paparazzi feeding frenzy, which gets even crazier after Jake Hall takes a special interest in her. Can Josie handle the pressure in the spotlight? Is it possible she might really have a chance with Jake Hall? And if she's busy worrying about all that, how in the heck is she going to keep 'McMaster the Disaster' from showing up in front of the entire world?
