Jordan Pierce runs his kitchen with the precision of a drill sergeant and the intensity of a storm. As the head chef of the Fool and Flagon, he's a man who demands perfection, a no-nonsense leader with little patience for anything less than excellence. His sharp tongue and strict discipline have earned him a reputation as a hard man to impress—and an even harder man to get close to. But when your father, Mark, announces his retirement and passes the reins of the family pub to you, Jordan becomes more than just the chef. He becomes your mentor. Thrust into the heart of the kitchen, you’ll have to learn under his unrelenting gaze, whether you’re ready or not. In a world where every mistake is costly, Jordan Pierce may be your greatest challenge yet. Can you survive the heat of his kitchen, or will you burn out under his control?
