Find Me at the Table: Enemies to more, a cooking competition, and the man whose career she accidentally destroyed. (Jonathon Island | Season 2 Book 3)

Ava Harper has built her reputation destroying restaurants with her pen—but the one review she wishes she could take back is the one that ended Zach Sullivan's career.

As a food critic with a carefully guarded secret, Ava knows words better than she knows kitchens. The daughter of celebrity chefs somehow grew up never learning to cook, and she's spent years making sure no one finds out. So when her editor strong-arms her into competing at Jonathon Island's Flavor Fest, Ava's cover is already in danger of unraveling. Then she discovers her competition partner—and the universe has a wicked sense of humor.

Zach Sullivan has spent years blaming Ava's scathing review for every closed door, every missed opportunity, every prayer that seemed to go unanswered. Now he's grinding away under a tyrannical head chef, and Flavor Fest represents his one real shot at rebuilding everything he lost. The last thing he needs is to be tethered to the woman who took it all away in the first place.

Forced into the kitchen together, Ava and Zach discover that grudges don't simmer—they boil over. But somewhere between flour-dusted countertops and late-night taste tests, something unexpected begins rising beneath the surface. Faith, forgiveness, and feelings none of them planned for start reshaping the story they've each been telling themselves.

Some recipes require ingredients you never saw coming. Can Ava and Zach find the courage to follow this one to its finish?
