Culinary Cock-Up

Two cocky chefs.Two rival restaurants.One night that changes everything…I hate Emmett Fox. I hated him ten years ago, back when he was my nemesis at culinary school. I hate him even more now that he's the executive chef at the biggest rival restaurant in New York City. When our paths cross again after years of not-so-friendly competition, I'm full of rage. Between his chiseled frame and piercing blue eyes, Emmett's easily the hottest thing in my kitchen — including the custom gas range that roasts at temperatures exceeding 800 degrees. Wait.Hold on.It is rage I'm feeling, right?Because I hate Emmett Fox.…Don't I? CULINARY COCK-UP is a short story originally published as part of the Cocktales Anthology.
