A Taste of Forever

Love was never on her menu… until he walked into her kitchen.

Maya Chen has always found comfort in the hum of her tiny apartment kitchen. Her food blog once brimmed with passion and possibility, but lately, it feels more like a quiet echo of a dream slipping away. Burnt lemon bars and late-night takeout have become the story of her life—until her best friend dares her to take one reckless leap.

Enter Alex Stone—celebrity-trained, impossibly focused, and devastatingly handsome. The executive chef at San Francisco’s hottest new restaurant doesn’t have time for distractions… until Maya shows up with her heart in her pastries and fire in her eyes.

What begins as a trial in the high-stakes world of professional kitchens soon simmers into something neither of them can resist. But with the pressures of a restaurant opening, a rival chef with unfinished business, and Maya’s own fears of failure, can they trust that what they’re building is more than a passing heat?

A Taste of Forever is a warm, sensual romance about chasing your passion, risking it all, and discovering that the sweetest recipe is the one written by the heart. Perfect for fans of slow-burn chemistry, emotional escapes, and love stories that linger long after the last page.
