Chef's Kiss (Campbell Series)

A farm, a fiery chef, and one very grumpy farmer…

They say too many cooks spoil the broth—
but what about one grumpy goat farmer and a sunshine chef with a serious garden grudge?

Johnny Campbell likes his solitude, his goats, and the quiet life on his small-town farm and creamery. What he doesn’t like? Marianna Howard—the overly cheerful, plant-obsessed French-American chef who’s turned his land into her personal herb garden.

Marianna was supposed to be temporary. Just six months helping friends open a new farm-to-table restaurant. But now she’s challenging Johnny’s farm practices, stealing his garden beds, and worming her way into his very guarded heart.

They bicker over sun exposure, soil types, and goat schedules… but beneath all the arguing simmers something far more dangerous: irresistible chemistry neither of them can ignore.

In this steamy small-town romance, sparks fly, goats bleat, and love proves to be the secret ingredient they never knew they were missing.
