One night doesn’t seem to be enough… Dean has finally found a workplace where he’s welcomed with open arms. Starting fresh in a new city was the only downside, and he refused to become a burden to his new colleagues by accepting too many dinner invites. Oliver’s restaurant is finally making a profit, and his loss of social life is no concern for him. Anyway, an overweight workaholic is hardly considered a catch from what he’s been told.

Until Oliver’s restaurant is burnt down. Their relationship is tested to the limits during the investigation, but Oliver took a chance with Dean and he refuses to take it back. This is an MM romance, featuring a firefighter who wants to believe in love, a chef who learns that a work/life balance is essential, and the reminder that when someone finds “the one,” it doesn’t matter whether it was only supposed to be one night. Love is love. Please note: This book was originally titled Out of the Frying Pan. The interior content has not changed.
