Soothing Her Beast

Greyson Wolfe, co-owner and head chef of The Castle, has exacting standards and an attitude that makes Gordon Ramsay look like a pussycat. His ex is a model, and an uber witch-with-a-B. After a minor injury makes him surlier than usual, his best friend and business partner hires the only woman in the city who seems capable of standing up to this beast.

Linda Vasquez is the new front-of-house management hire. Her patience and no nonsense attitude, and the fact that she gives him back as good as she gets, cracks the walls he’s erected to keep people out. Over time she learns to handle his hissing and spitting; taming the beast.

Together, they share a strong work ethic; her patient but no-nonsense personality a perfect foil for his demanding perfectionism. As Linda and Greyson grow closer, their attraction builds slowly and steadily until an unwelcome visit from his past ignites a spark that can’t be denied. Or can it?
