Truly Madly Deeply: A Grumpy x Sunshine Romance (Forbidden Love Book 1)

Ambrose Casablancas is a renowned Michelin-starred chef focused entirely on his work. Women are not a priority for him—especially not Cal Litvin, his sister's best friend, whom he finds both infuriating and attractive. He is managing the opening of a new restaurant, a major property deal, and dealing with a violent stalker. When Cal arrives at his doorstep seeking employment and a fresh start after their previous difficult parting, Ambrose's resolve weakens as she works at his restaurant. Cal is no longer the young woman he once knew. Cal has returned to her hometown to support her mother following her father's death. She is unemployed, without savings, and hoping to reconnect with her former best friend—who is now close with her brother, the man Cal has secretly liked since middle school. Pursuing him again would be unwise, but Cal has always been clumsy. Truly, Madly, Deeply is a grumpy-sunshine, enemies-to-lovers romance and the first book in the Forbidden Love series. It can be read as a standalone.
