What to expect

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'This. Was. Adorable. I swooned for both of these two HARD! This is grumpy/sunshine delivered!' Reader review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Ben and Pete's chemistry hit me hard, straight away. I am feral for both of them.' Reader review

Video editor Ben Blumenthal has perfected the art of cynicism... until he meets Pete Bailey, a devastatingly handsome chef whose sunny disposition should be annoying but somehow isn't. Ben's used to keeping people at arm's length; Pete's a walking catastrophe who somehow stays cheerful despite it all. But as Ben works side by side with Pete in the kitchen, he discovers there's much, much more to this beautiful mess of a man than meets the eye...

Witty, heartwarming, and deliciously swoony—a slow-burn grumpy/sunshine workplace romance with found family, office intrigue, and all the feels.
