Slater
There isn't a better restaurant in town than The Plate, and there isn't a better chef than Brooks Neal, but that doesn't mean he'd make a good partner. My life is falling apart, and so is my career as a food critic now that everyone knows I've slept with Chef Neal. I'm not sure how to right my faltering ship, but I know it's not with him! But he's so hot, and he's kind, and I can't stay away. Brooks I can make any dish perfectly. I know the exact wine pairing for each course. There's no one in the city who makes a superior meal. None of these skills is helping me lure Slater back to my bed. Her life is unraveling, but mine will be completely cooked if I can't win her over. The only thing I can do is turn up the heat until her icy heart melts and I make her mine forever.
