Claiming the Chef

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. When pastry chef Emery Blake lands a job at Salt & Ember, she is ready to prove herself in one of the toughest kitchens on the coast. She is not prepared for Beckett Vale—a brilliant, brooding head chef, devoted single dad, and widower who keeps everyone at arm’s length. Working beside him turns friction into temptation fast. But Beckett is Emery’s boss, his daughter Clara is at the center of every choice he makes, and the life he has rebuilt feels too fragile to risk on the wrong person. As late nights, shared kitchen heat, and hard-won trust pull them closer, Emery must decide whether she is willing to fight for a place in Beckett’s guarded world—and Beckett has to decide if love is worth breaking every rule he has lived by. Steamy, emotional, and full of heart, Claiming the Chef is a contemporary romance about a talented pastry chef, a gruff man learning how to love again, and the family they never expected to build.
