The Accidental

Chef February Winters hates Valentine's Day. She refuses to open her restaurant for it. Until the critics say that she can't, so of course she must. But planning the perfect V-day menu eludes her. Jax Dillon is a hacker, but for the past three months they've been tending bar. And on the lookout for a rogue spy. Truth be told, they've spent more time looking at the stunning head chef. Feb's been looking Jax's way too, and the two mix up a sublime V-day concept.
But when the big day arrives, Feb finds her restaurant full of bounty hunters and assassins. And when the spy she thought was a critic takes her three stars-and Jax-hostage, Feb must cook the meal of her life to win back culinary glory and the bartender (er, hacker?) who's stolen her heart. Good thing she's a real chef. The Accidental is a prequel novella in the Redemption Inc. series. This sapphic romantic suspense features a non-binary hacker and the grumpy rising-star chef who accidentally finds herself in love and in the espionage pressure cooker.
