From international bestselling mystery author Jennifer L. Hart comes a sizzling new installment in the Southern Pasta Shop Mysteries...

If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen...

Andy Buckland isn't thrilled when sexpot celebrity chef Lacey L'Amour decides to open a competing ethnic restaurant in small-town Beaverton...right across the street from Andy's pasta shop, the Bowtie Angel. And matters heat up when L'Amour sets her sights on both Andy's customers and her man, Malcolm Jones, who has been acting strange lately. But all of that pales in comparison when Andy's long lost daughter is suspected of arson. Suddenly the town's outrage reaches a rapid boil, and the future of the Buckland-Rossetti clan is about to go up in flames. Can Andy beat the competition, keep her man, and catch an arsonist before her hard won reputation is reduced to cinders?
