Welcome to the Rose and Thorn restaurant where steamy romance is always on the menu.
Set in the funkiest of funky restaurants in the rad pre-internet 1990s, before cells, social media and streaming, and featuring a quirky cast of chefs, waiters and customers who fall in and out of love (and bed), the Restaurantland Romance novels crackle with off-beat humor, joy and passion.
Sometimes, true love requires handcuffs.
Roz is getting her life back on track. She's sober, writing poetry again and spending her free time supporting her beloved sister who's in prison after getting caught up in an environmental protest gone horribly wrong. Between all that and working double shifts at The Rose and Thorn, Roz has no time for romance.
But a little harmless flirting never hurt anyone, right?
Then Roz meets Hudson, the new line cook. He's tall, handsome and mysterious. The only thing loner Hudson will reveal about his past is that he picked up his rad cooking skills in prison. Hudson seems to enjoy Roz's flirting, but he's guarded.
Of course, love won't be denied, and Roz and Hudson soon find themselves breathlessly swept away in a magical romance-a once-in-a-lifetime certainty that they are meant only for each other.
All that passion explodes when they discover a shared past, a shocking coincidence and a secret that threatens to rip their future apart. A furious Roz swears never to speak to heartbroken Hudson again. But when they end up handcuffed together at an eco-protest, the truth will come out-for better or worse.
From the tops of majestic trees deep in the wilderness to a fiery May Day protest in Portland, from the pressures of prison life to the demands of working in a chaotic restaurant, Poetic Justice tells a story of the revolutionary act of falling in love.
Poetic Justice is a dual-timeline, enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity workplace romance. This is the second book in the Restaurantland Romance series.
