Ember Rae Sullivan is a rising chef determined to build her own culinary empire. Control is her comfort zone, and she plans to keep it that way.
Love is a distraction she can’t afford, so she lives by two rules: make your money and never let a man get in the way of your dreams.

Elijah Claus is exactly the kind of man those rules were made for.

Persistent, possessive, and used to getting what he wants, Elijah takes Ember’s boundaries as a challenge—and her resistance as a reason to try harder.

One blurred line is all it takes to complicate everything.

Now, Ember is determined to keep her focus on the future she’s worked too hard for, while Elijah seems just as determined to make room for himself in it.

But when one impulsive decision forces Ember to rethink everything she thought she wanted, she decides it’s finally time to bet on herself.

Except Elijah has already decided he’s betting on her too.

And the more Ember tries to keep her boundaries in place, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull bringing her right back to him.

Because when two people share the same flame the rest is just timing.
