Spicing Things Up Judi Lynn

Lush foliage, farm fresh food, friendly folks-it's no wonder everyone loves a fall getaway to Mill Pond, Indiana. And this season, when a new chef arrives on the scene, nothing will ever be the same . . . A California heart-throb, Tyne is fast becoming a legend in Mill Pond. While his easy cool and creative, Thai influenced culinary style have all the ladies in town salivating, Tyne is less interested in flirting than in finding the perfect spot for his own restaurant-and in staying single for as long as possible. His days working at the elegant Lakeview Stables resort are numbered from day one-until he meets a woman who stops him in his tracks. A quiet beauty and free spirit who owns a stained glass shop-above which Tyne rents an apartment-Daphne seems to have her life in order. But when her boyfriend leaves her, for his soon-to-be-ex-wife no less, she's destroyed. Tyne offers a shoulder to cry on. But that's just a first course. After a slow boil, their relationship turns into something far deeper than either of them expected. Yet is Daphne really over her ex-and is Tyne ready to commit to a life in Mill Pond, much less to her? Time-and a few challenges-will tell if they're just cooking up a delicious memory . . . or a lasting love.
