This Is Not Love at First Sight (Brothers of Fairwitch Isle, #1.5)

When two rival chefs with a royal feast to prepare get snowed in, it’s not just the oven that’s heating up . . .Hating Liam Wolvern is in Elowyn’s blood. Their families have been rivals for centuries, each generation vying for the job of castle chef. It doesn’t help that Liam won the coveted role and now cooks for the high prince while Elowyn is stuck working at her family’s failing tavern.

Elowyn’s ready to prove herself when she’s invited to prepare the upcoming Winter Solstice feast at the castle. Yes it means working with Liam, but it’s also her chance to shine.

Unfortunately, Elowyn’s plans are thrown out the window when a storm hits and she’s snowed in with Liam. Now they not only have to make this feast, but they have to do it in a mischievous sentient kitchen with plans of its own.

Worse, once they stop fighting long enough to cook, Elowyn realizes they might be a great team, that maybe she got Liam all wrong. But as tension builds and things start to heat up, she has to wonder . . . what happens when the snow melts?

This Is Not Love at First Sight is a standalone spicy, cozy romantasy with forced proximity, enemies-to-lovers, and a magical kitchen with an attitude problem.
