A Taste of Temptation

"In the kitchen, she's a firestorm. In love, she's about to burn."

Youngest Perez. Billionaire. CEO. Head-turner.
Maxine Avrielle Griego Perez has it all-beauty, brains, and billions. With multiple successful businesses under her name, she's unstoppable. But behind the glam life, may isang pangarap siyang matagal nang hindi natutupad:
To become a certified chef.

As her final requirement, she's sent to train at Moonlight Kitchenette, a cozy restaurant owned by her tito-but managed by Chef Timothy Hayden Sanders, a perfectionist known for being cold, demanding, and insanely hot.

At first, clash sila.
She's used to being in control.
He's used to obedience.
But in between the yelling, stolen glances, and late-night cooking sessions, something starts to simmer.

Timothy falls-for her strength, her sass, and that laugh she tries to hide.
And Maxine? She falls harder. For the first time, she lets herself feel.

Then comes Cassandra.
The manager who's always wanted more than professionalism.
One drunken night. One betrayal.
Maxine leaves-broken, silent... and pregnant.

Five years later, Maxine returns as a world-class chef and single mom. Fierce, focused, and definitely not here to rekindle anything.

But fate isn't done with them yet.
Timothy is back, full of regret-and still in love.
He wants answers. He wants her back.
What he doesn't know is... he already has a piece of her.

Secrets will be exposed.
Old wounds reopened.
And somewhere between revenge, forgiveness, and five-star meals... a second chance might be served.
