Life for Emma isn’t good. The world knows her as Princess Anya on Dark Castle, but then her character gets the axe—literally. The cherry on top is finding her boyfriend in bed with another woman. She needs a break, and sanctuary comes in the form of Rosemont, a gorgeous estate in California promising rest and relaxation.
Then she meets the owner’s equally gorgeous grandson, ex–hockey player and current recluse Lucian Osmond, and she
sees her own pain and yearning reflected in his eyes.
He’s charming when he wants to be but also secretive and gruff, with protective walls as thick as Emma’s own. Despite a growing attraction, they avoid each other.
But then there’s an impromptu nighttime skinny-dip, and Lucian’s luscious homemade tarts and cream cakes start arriving at Emma’s door, tempting her to taste life again…
In trying to stay apart, they only grow closer—and their broken pieces just might fit together and make them whole.

So, this author is not NEW per say to me because I’ve read her before all my bookstagramming and blogging so but It’s been a very long time since I’ve read just a book by her alone. I really enjoyed myself in this one, I forgot how well of a writer this author is, and so good with the words!
This was a full around book, the hero and heroine have their own while the side characters also were equally appealing not to mention played match makers. It’s a very slow burn but not enough where I would be mad waiting for it, worth waiting for because there is also food involved and it’s very SEXY! I loved watching them fall in love, be with one another, it was just all so dang sweet!
