SPECIAL EDITION
When a stubborn chef and a hotel heir clash over the fate of a Southern inn, the only thing hotter than their arguments is their undeniable attraction.
When the Southern Charm faces change, chef Dakota Mitchell isn’t ready to let go. The historic inn is his home, his legacy, and his heart—and he’ll fight anyone who threatens it.
Enter Samuel Ashford, heir to the powerful Ashford Hotels empire. His mission?
Transform the Charm into a sleek boutique destination. But Samuel didn’t count on fiery Dakota standing in his way—or on how hard it would be to resist the simmering attraction between them.
As tempers clash and sparks ignite, Dakota and Samuel must decide whether they’ll destroy each other—or fight together to save the inn. In the heat of Southern kitchens and stormy nights, they may just discover that love is the one thing worth risking everything for.
Includes exclusive KU bonus scenes not in the original release.
