Fiery Flirt (Chef's Kiss Barbecue #2)

When ambition meets attraction, three hearts find their perfect heat.

Ryan Mitchell thought escaping corporate burnout for Gulf Coast barbecue was life-changing—until Piper challenged everything he knew about relationships. Now Mari Torres, the fiery food truck expert with operational genius and curves that distract him mid-smoke, wants in on their dream.

But Mari's joining more than their business partnership.

As the trio navigates their unconventional relationship, they pivot from food-truck complications to the high-stakes world of competitive barbecue. Mari's expertise transforms their operation, but choosing this path means defying her controlling father and risking everything she's built with her found family.

Smoke, spice, and sizzling chemistry collide as Ryan learns to manage more than just fire—he's balancing two incredible women, perfecting brisket under pressure, and discovering that the best things in life can't be optimized with spreadsheets. With witty banter, explicit heat, and mouth-watering barbecue in this contemporary harem romance. Watch as a burnt-out billionaire, a free-spirited culinary dropout, and a determined Latina build more than championship barbecue—they're building a family.

Fiery Flirt is the second book of the Chef's Kiss Barbecue series. A slow-burning, slice-of-life, age-gap contemporary romance series that melds Texas barbecue culture, RV/van life coastal adventure, competition barbecue, and digital nomad lifestyle. Sharp humor, witty banter, and nerd culture combine in this harem romance of midlife reinvention.
