In this spicy new rom-com for fans of Tessa Bailey and Jasmine Guillory, Kendra is busy trying to get her supper club off the ground in DC, but she loses focus when her childhood crush turns up, hotter than ever, then tells her that anything romantic between them is strictly prohibited.
 
Self-taught cook Kendra can’t help the feelings that she develops for BJ––she’s known him as her big brother’s best friend for most of her life, and he’s always been that cool, chill guy who was easy to talk to and made her laugh. From adolescence to adulthood, he’s always been someone she could confide in, and he supports her desire to open her very own supper club (think speakeasy but with food). BJ supports Kendra’s dream, even when investors don’t see the vision.
 
Now that Keke’s returned home, her feelings have just grown stronger, and the chemistry building between them is undeniable. So when they almost kiss and BJ tells her that nothing can ever happen between them because she’s “off limits,” Kendra goes out of her way to convince him that he should reconsider. But these boundaries are more about trust than she first realized; BJ drew the line to protect his own heart, because he's been hurt in love before. That doesn’t mean he can deny the chemistry either. Ultimately, Kendra’s professional dreams point to her leaving D.C. for a fresh start––and she’d rather be away if she can’t be with BJ. Will BJ be ready for love before Kendra moves on, or will he sweep Kendra off her feet when she least expects it?
