And a relationship with an employee is a recipe for disaster. But when August catches his eye at a local culinary school, he knows he needs to taste the intriguing omega. Maybe it’s time for an old alpha to learn something new about love? Things are getting hot in the kitchen… It’s a dream come true to work for Ewin Storm, but August is determined to keep things strictly professional with the older alpha.

Ewin and August will need to decide whether their passion is a one-night-only special, or if it should be added to the menu permanently. less
