In which two entangled culinary students unravel each other all over again.
* * *
After reaching a fiery boiling point that leaves their trust in ruins, spitfire Summer Westley and arrogant Ashton Banks are far from kissing and making up. But fresh scars and a bitter dose of consequences can't stop the relentless craving for one another no matter how much damage has been done. As they wrestle with the high emotions and unresolved tension simmering between them, Summer and Ashton find themselves wondering whether the lingering aftertaste of each other is strong enough to keep their future together alive - or if they were always fated to crash and burn.
