Red Hot Pepper

Widower Drew Fulton wants nothing more than to give his boss an earful for taking him away from daughters and tricking him into spending four days-and a blizzard-with his quick-tempered new client. Unfortunately, her temper isn't all that's hot. Deli owner and single mom Pepper McCann might be attracted to her marketing guy, but she has no intention of falling for her cousin's underhanded matchmaking scheme. She has enough complications in her life without getting involved with a man who still mourns his dead wife. Unfortunately, the road to hell's kitchen is paved with good intentions. Sparks fly-in temperaments and body chemistry-and cooking together seems easier than resisting desire, especially when real life isn't around to interrupt. The challenge will be preventing the flame from spreading so fast they both get burned. But his kids and a blast from the past just might douse it first.
