Take the Bait by Vanessa Wilder

Can a sizzling chef ignite the spark she’s been missing?

Hanna moved to the sun-kissed shores of Orange Beach seeking adventure. Instead, she’s found nothing but loneliness. Even worse than her nonexistent social life is her mediocre dating life.
Enter Tucker—a dreamy chef who seems straight out of her most delicious fantasies. Despite always seeming to find her in her most embarrassing moments, Hanna nearly swoons at every encounter with his irresistible charm and biteable biceps.
She’s convinced a man this perfect can’t be real—and people have a habit of letting her down. Will Tucker be like all the rest, or will he surprise her?

Take the Bait is part of an interconnected series of romance novels featuring different couples. It has cringey, laugh-out-loud moments and spicy bedroom scenes with some serious oral fixations (Tucker is a chef, after all). It’s intended for 18+ readers.

Tropes: Small town romance, friends to lovers, sexy chef, awkward kindergarten teacher, she’s given up on love, holiday romance, dual POV
