The Slowest Burn cover

In The Slowest Burn, a chaotic chef and an uptight ghostwriter navigate their differences while working on a cookbook, leading to unexpected romance.

In The Slowest Burn, readers are introduced to Kieran O'Neill, a chaotic chef who has just won a cooking reality show and is on the brink of opening his own restaurant. Despite his accomplishments, Kieran struggles with the expectations of his demanding family and his own ADHD, which makes planning a challenge. His biggest hurdle, however, is Ellie Wasserman, his uptight ghostwriter, who seems to be the antithesis of everything he represents. As they work together on his debut cookbook, Kieran finds himself increasingly frustrated by Ellie's meticulous nature, while she grapples with her own personal struggles, including being a widow living with her in-laws.

Ellie's life is far from easy; she dreams of independence and owning her own home, but her responsibilities weigh heavily on her shoulders. As the deadline for the cookbook approaches, the tension between Kieran and Ellie becomes palpable. Their interactions, filled with witty banter and underlying attraction, create a dynamic that is both entertaining and relatable. Can these two find common ground amidst their chaotic lives and past hurts, or will their budding romance fizzle out before it truly begins?

The Slowest Burn is a delightful enemies-to-lovers romance that explores themes of personal growth, resilience, and the transformative power of love. As Kieran and Ellie navigate their differences, readers are treated to a heartwarming story that proves sometimes, the best recipes take time to develop.
