Champagne Taste On A Bad Boy Budget

By Zuri Day

Published: December 2025

  • A recipe for disaster…or redemption

    For Jamilah Carver, a by-the-books entrepreneur with refined tastes, running her own restaurant has been a dream come true…that is, until she’s buried in debt and without a chef, her once-bustling eatery on the brink of collapse. Enter Rashad White, a newly released ex-con who happens to be a culinary genius and likes to play by his own rules.

    With nothing in common but their love for food, the two clash at every turn. But when they’re not bickering over menu items or cooking methods, neither can deny the attraction that simmers between them. After Rashad proposes a daring plan, they’ll have to put their differences aside to work together – that’s when things really start heating up in the kitchen…
