SEND IT BACK: A Slow Burn Culinary Romance

Years ago, an anonymous review nearly ended his career. Now the journalist writing his redemption story is the critic who wrote it and every day she doesn't tell him, the lie gets harder to survive. Nico Reyes built Manong's out of grief, stubbornness, and his mother's recipes and spent six years proving the anonymous critic who nearly ended him before he started was wrong. Now he's a finalist for the industry's biggest honor, and the magazine profile that could secure his legacy is being written by the first person in years who makes him feel unguarded. Nora Voss needs this byline. It's the one that finally puts her name on the masthead in an industry that's overlooked her for five years. What she can't have is Nico finding out that the takedown that almost broke him was hers. She was twenty-four, furious, and anonymous. He was an easy target with something to prove. She never thought he'd read it. She definitely never thought she'd fall for him. Some reviews you can't send back. A slow-burn, banter-forward contemporary romance for readers of Emily Henry, Ali Hazelwood, and Christina Lauren - one hidden identity, one impossible timeline, and a happily-ever-after that has to be earned by both of them.
