Second Chance at Neap & Spring

Callum Reid has six months before foreclosure swallows the restaurant he spent years building, so when his investors demand a consultant, he is unprepared for Vivienne Lane to walk back into Westerly Point.

Five years after she disappeared, the woman who once belonged in his kitchen has returned to tell him how to run it, and he has no interest in trusting her twice.

Vivienne never planned to end up face to face with the man she fled to protect, yet she is the best in the business and will not start failing now, even if saving the place means sharing a kitchen with everything she ran from.

Working side by side under a ticking clock, the old pull between them returns as fiercely as the pressure to keep the restaurant afloat, while a buried reason for her leaving still sits unspoken.

When that secret finally comes out, Callum has to decide whether loving her is a risk he can take again, and Vivienne has to decide whether she is finally brave enough to stay.
