Where the Heart Simmered
READING AGE 16+
Zayden Axl Fernandez, a professional chef who owns a chain of restaurants, burnt out by city life, retreats to the countryside to have peace and unwind, and also to search for silence and forgotten flavors. But when he arrived at the apartment, it was already occupied, and he didn’t expect that her roommate was a woman — Luna Velasco, a children’s book illustrator who can’t cook without setting off the fire alarm.

They have discovered that love — like the best recipes — takes time, patience, and a little bit of mess.
