Entering the hottest new cooking competition show should have ignited my career, but when I got eliminated in the second round, I knew I had blown my shot. Still, I’ve been alone my entire life – so when my father disowns me for not following his path, I figure I’ll be fine on my own.

I never expected Rowan, the famously reclusive cafe owner, to be the key ingredient in crafting my new life. He is everything I’ve wanted for so long — everything I thought I couldn’t have. I should have left him where I found him, especially since I was still with my high school sweetheart. But when he offered me the life-changing opportunity to be his personal chef – I couldn’t resist.

What’s brewing between us is more intense than anything I’ve experienced before. Everyone I love always leaves eventually but with Rowan, I’ll be careful – I won’t let him leave.

I won’t give him the chance.

Dry Cry is a slow burn, foodie romance that tackles themes of abandonment, grief, and taking risks in the name of love.
