The first season of my show was a hit, and I love what I do, so when my agent called to tell me about a new show the network wanted me to audition for, I was surprised. I’m almost twenty-one, not a teenager anymore, and as it turns out, she thinks my girl-next-door image needs to grow up a little.

When I find out that I’m auditioning to co-host with the sexy British celebrity chef I grew up crushing on, I nearly lose it.

Lucas has had a lot of trouble the past couple of years. A nasty divorce. Binge-drinking. Partying. We won’t even talk about those pics of his impressive package that were splashed all over the tabloids.

I’m supposed to be the solution to all Lucas’ problems. Meeting him, though, is just the start of mine.

When we set off on a European filming tour, sparks fly.

Lucas is definitely bringing the heat.

I just hope I don’t get burned.
