Worth Waiting — Kit Kyndall

A banked flame sparks to life.Twenty years ago, Ellie gave up a promising culinary career to raise her kids while her now ex-husband skyrocketed to fame and fortune with a string of restaurants she helped him build. Divorce has given her a new world of possibilities, but she's not brave enough to audition for celebrity chef Ian Scott until her kids and BFF trick her into it. He offers her the job, to her surprise, and it's a struggle to keep her thoughts on work instead of her hot boss.Twenty years ago, Ian lost his chance with Ellie before he ever really had it. Now that she's free and in front of him again, he won't waste another opportunity. He wants to nurture her culinary potential, but most of all, he wants her—body, heart, and soul. She belongs with him. She just doesn't know it yet. This is a sweet tale of two well-seasoned people, who find love after forty. Sweet Escapes are novellas that get right to the point. They offer crazy insta-love, heart-pounding emotions, and improbable scenarios. They're identical to the Pure Escapes versions of each title, except there's no steam, no swearing, and nothing that would make your grandmother blush. They're pure escapist fantasies. Enjoy! Fade to black romances are the ultra-safe, ultra-stripped versions of USA Today bestselling author Kit Tunstall's novels that put everything behind closed doors and fades to black.
