Delicious by Susan Mallery
Penny Jackson is going to work for her ex husband in his restauart to turn it around.
Cal Buchannan and his family owned a lot of restaurants.
She wants more than just a salary and a job. She wants to take what she creates with her, her name on the menu, a week off and the one to select the general manager and a percentage of the business.
This would give her what she needed to start her own in a few years time.
She's got a secret and she's not told her new boss.
His brother Reid, just done with baseball due to his arm injury didn't think it was such a good idea for her not to tell his brother.
Danni Buchannan is the sister who has worked her way up in Burger Heaven-another of the busineses. She is upset because she wanted the Waterfront but Cal's ex wife is going to be the chef there.
Hugh and Danni are having problems also.
Cal is hiding things from his past as well that may break up the whole business idea.
Naomi, Penny's best friend is now also working at the business due to Penny's advice. She been hooking up with one of Cal's brothers.
Walker is back and on the search for 'ashley'. his best friend died in the war and he wants to tell her how much he had talked about her. he searches all over Seattle to find her from yearbook leads.
The taste tasting of what Penny wants to offer is amazing-he can't decide what spices she had used but they are just great.
Things heat up extremely as her hormones are out of control and he finds her just so much more sexy now. He knows her body well even when it was pregnant before. Cal then decided he didn't want kids-she had had a miscarriage and had witnessed the pain.
Things are also out of control at work, problems arise that continually need looking after til they discover who's behind it all.
good beginning book of a series
