Happy Teaser Tuesday, romance readers!
Today I’m sharing a little peek at the second book in my One Night Scandals series, Her Hottest Challenge. If you love high-heat romance, fierce rivals, and a little friendly (or not-so-friendly) competition, this story might be exactly your flavor.
Staci Rowland is a talented bakery owner who knows her way around sugar, spice, and everything nice. When she joins the hit reality cooking show Premier Chef, she’s determined to prove she’s more than the “sweet” contestant everyone expects.
There’s just one problem.
Her partner—and biggest distraction—is smokin’-hot Cajun chef Remy Cruzel, a man who thrives on competition and has no intention of letting Staci beat him.
From the moment they’re paired together, sparks fly. And not the good, cozy kind. The fiery, impossible-to-ignore kind.
Living together, cooking together, and competing under the bright lights of a televised competition pushes them both to their limits. But as their rivalry heats up, so does the chemistry between them.
And suddenly the biggest challenge in the kitchen… isn’t the food.
It’s resisting each other.
What you’ll find inside Her Hottest Challenge:
• Enemies to lovers
• Forced proximity
• Reality TV competition drama
• Opposites attract
• Flirty banter
• High-heat romance
If you enjoy romance that mixes passion, tension, and a little delicious chaos, Staci and Remy’s story delivers plenty of all three.
Question for you:
What’s your favorite romance trope—enemies to lovers, forced proximity, or something else entirely?
I’d love to hear in the comments.
And if you enjoy spicy contemporary romance, keep an eye out for more from the One Night Scandals series. Her Hottest Challenge is available to preorder here.
