About this ebook
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.

Chapter One
Ellie
HEY, WATCH IT,
SAID Ellie as she adroitly sidestepped the young man holding the tray to be circulated around the party. He couldn’t have been much more than nineteen or twenty, placing him solidly around the age of her kids, Kip and Anna. It sent a pang through her chest as she thought about Kip thundering clumsily through the kitchen as he was wont to do. He was in his freshman year at the university and had chosen to live on campus, so she’d missed hearing him rush through the apartment like a herd of elephants the past few months.
They were in a quick-paced environment, and she didn’t have time to get maudlin about her empty nest, so she turned her attention to the smoked salmon rolls she had to complete. She was lost in the zone, so she jumped in surprise when her boss and best friend, Rachel, tapped her on the arm a few minutes later. She looked up from the task of tucking salmon just right. What?
You’ll never guess what I heard.
Ellie shrugged. Yeah, I probably won’t.
She continued her task, knowing she still had a couple hundred of those to assemble before moving on to the asparagus tarts.
Seriously, just guess.
Ellie rolled her eyes as she looked up. I really don’t have time to play guessing games right now. I’m surprised you want to, since your company’s reputation is on the line.
This is really important, Ellie.
With seriousness that brought attention to the furrows at the corners of her eyes, her friend scowled at her. Don’t you want to know? It’s about you...kind of.
Ellie arched a blonde brow. How could it be about me? I don’t know any of these people.
Once upon a time, she’d moved in these circles, at least occasionally, but that was before she and Darren divorced. Well before that even, because he’d stopped including her in most of his social engagements in his networking attempts as his
