Now the hipster gastropub down the street is muscling in on his business and his star. To add insult to injury, his younger brother (and head of PR) has even started sleeping with their goddamn bartender. Worst of all: their executive chef, Alex Murry, is really nice. And handsome. And awakening feelings Bennet has always tried very hard to deny. But none of that matters - Bennet's first priority is the restaurant. He doesn't have time for love. Too bad love has other ideas. "The Maven and the Maverick: A Culinary Rivalry Romance" is a 44,000 word straight-to-gay erotic love story full of many steamy encounters, including first times, age gaps, oral worship, office sex, and finding the perfect recipe for happily-ever-after where you least expect it.
