She didn’t belong. He didn’t want her. But power has its own appetite. Ellie Allen is a young aspiring chef with fire in her blood and nothing to lose. When she lands a last-minute catering job at the Sinclair family’s exclusive gala, she expects pressure—but not the attention of Salvador Sinclair himself. He’s cold, calculating, and heir to a fortune soaked in control and silence. Salvador doesn’t like distractions—especially not bold-eyed caterers who challenge him with every glance. But when Ellie crosses an invisible line in his world, a chain reaction begins—one filled with sharp words, deeper secrets, and a slow-burning tension neither of them can ignore. She’s not his type. He’s not her savior. But fate doesn’t care who gets burned.
