Sophia Collins excels at two things. One she’s retired from; the other is cooking. So, when Leonard Freeman walks into her kitchen and requests her services, she quickly agrees. He’s a fine specimen of God’s creation, and Sophia doesn’t mind having him around while she cooks for his business dinner.

Sophia hates seeing a good man go to waste, especially with so many bad apples out there. She knows how to get and hold a man’s interest. Should she show Leonard Freeman that the grass is greener on her side of the fence?
Leonard is all about business at this point in his life. He tried pleasure and got burned. Sophia Collins, his twenty-four hour cook, is the first woman in two years to turn his mind in that direction again. With how she looks and how she cooks, Leonard begins to think this woman might be worth the risk of a romance.
