Look With Your Heart

When small-town enemies are forced to face each other in shared quarters, they just might find there is more than meets the eye between them.Ethan Scott lost his job. As top chef to an elite resort, he heated the kitchen with more than just the stove ... and got caught. A blow to his ego in more ways than one, he's forced to move back to his hometown when a position for a personal chef opens. His new boss is a recluse in the woods and he's heard the stories. Determined to make the best of things, nothing prepares him for the sight of his new employer or her feisty attitude.
Ella Vincent gave up her career without a choice. As a former model, the gruesome scars on her once lovely face won't sell beauty products. Finding refuge in a secluded home in the woods near Elk Lake City seemed like a good idea until her brother hires someone to look after her. Her new employee is more than handsome in the face; he's a thorn in her side.
Sometimes it takes a bruised heart to see more than the beauty our eyes can behold.
**Author note: When a down-and-out chef and a reclusive woman are forced to live together, stir in a kayak, Saturday afternoon football and some pumpkin spice, and this small town heats up despite falling temperatures.
