Goose bumps had run over her skin, as if announcing the significance of the kiss. Now, as she came back to reality, she released a breath she hadn’t realized she’d been holding. For a little while at least, they’d been great together. But that kiss was nothing more than a memory now, and she would be better off forgetting it.
Mentally shaking herself, Shyann leaned her hands on the counter in front of her. Its cool metal surface felt icy against her palms and reminded her that her company’s future was why she was really here. That was just what she needed, since she clearly didn’t have her head in the game.

Months after he stole her affections—then her executive chef position—Shyann and Luke meet again under sizzling circumstances, competing head-to-head on a televised cooking show called Kitchen Twist. Each arrives with a motive: Luke intends to win back Shyann’s heart, even as she wants closure on the not-so-tasty heartbreak he once served up.
Luke knows culinary masterpieces require a delicate touch, but that knowledge is tossed out with the leftovers as he works to show Shyann he’s not such a bad guy. Now he pushes his skills to the limit to win the competition and satisfy a bet.
Can two top chefs resist each other as they move out of the pan and into the fire?
Happy Writing!

Nice six!
Perfect title for the story. I love stories where the characters have a history.
Thanks, everybody for the comments. I had such fun writing these characters. I can't wait to share them with the world on October 5th.
They sound like a lot of fun. I can't wait to see how this turns out!
Great use of her immediate setting -- the cold counter -- to rein in her emotions. Like that a lot.
Love your six!
Oh, that must've been quite a kiss! I had goosebumps too. :)
That's right, get your head back in the game!
