He's a felon trying to rebuild…everything.
Second chances have never been so sweet.
For Jamilah Carver, a bythebooks entrepreneur with refined tastes, running her own restaurant has been a dream come true. Until she’s buried in debt and without a chef, her oncebustling eatery on the brink of collapse. Enter Rashad White, a newly released excon who happens to be a culinary genius…and likes to play by his own rules.
With nothing in common but their love for food, the two clash at every turn. But when they’re not bickering over menu items or cooking methods, neither can deny the attraction that simmers between them. After Rashad proposes a daring plan, they’ll have to put their differences aside to work together—that’s when things really start heating up in the kitchen.
Can two completely different people, from two completely opposite worlds, find the perfect recipe for a fresh start…and maybe even love?
Champagne Taste on a Bad Boy Budget is a spicy, fastpaced romance you can read in one sitting.
