RATCATCHER (The Mother Wolf Bakery Series)

About this book

Ten years ago, Raffael Lambrou shattered Ashley Morgan Lobo’s heart, leaving behind a decade of bitter memories. Now, against her better judgment, Ashley finds herself back in his kitchen, forced to work alongside the man who once defined her world. As professional chefs, they trade sharp insults and navigate deep-seated grudges, but the high-pressure environment of the kitchen only intensifies the smoldering, unsatiated hunger that has lingered between them since their youth. This enemies-to-lovers story captures the volatile dynamic of two people who are as magnetic as they are incompatible. As they struggle to keep their restaurant afloat, the professional stakes rise alongside their unresolved personal history. Old wounds inevitably surface, transforming their icy hostility into a dangerous, electric tension. Raff and Ash must decide if they can finally lay the past to rest or if their pride will cost them their futures. With vivid, sensory-rich prose that brings the culinary world to life, *Ratcatcher* explores whether a long-broken bond can be repaired or if some flames are simply too destructive to rekindle. It is a cinematic, emotional journey about the messy, transformative power of the one love neither of them ever truly escaped.
