What it covers
About this book
When the landlord splits one kitchen between two restaurants, Nia Coleman and Andre Baptiste have to share a walk-in, a dishwasher and a single six-burner stove. She cooks her grandmother’s Gullah recipes. He cooks Haitian food the way his father taught him. A food critic is coming, and only one of them can win the review. A short, warm rivals-to-lovers romance set on Auburn Avenue.
The landlord drew the line down the middle of the kitchen with blue painter’s tape. Nia got the left burners and the window. Andre got the right burners and the door to the alley. They split the walk-in cooler shelf by shelf, and by the end of the first week both of them had labeled every shelf in permanent marker.

About the author
Maya Bellamy
I taught middle-school choir in DeKalb County for nine years, and I still hum when I write. My books are set in the Atlanta I grew up in: Sunday dinners that run long, porches where people say the true thing after dark, and neighbors who know your business before you do. I write slow-burn romance about grown people with jobs, bills and family opinions. Nobody in my books falls for a stranger at an airport. They fall for the person who shows up with a casserole and a ladder. I live in East Point with my husband, my mother-in-law and a very loud beagle named Deacon.
