Hungry love—July 1 Release

A big-hearted modern romance about hunger, heartbreak, and the courage to want more.

Ava Diaz has always been the one holding everything together: a rising food editor, a devoted girlfriend, and a survivor of a childhood that taught her that love comes with fine print. But when a dinner she’s sure will end in a proposal turns into a confession instead, Ava’s carefully curated life collapses in a single course.

The last person Ava expects to offer her a lifeline is Gavin Jones, her ex’s older brother—guarded, maddeningly observant, and far more comfortable keeping her at arm’s length. So when he offers her a summer job as his private chef on a remote Pacific Northwest island, she surprises herself by saying yes.

What begins as a temporary arrangement becomes something far messier and more intimate. As Ava pours her heart into cooking for Gavin, she begins to wonder whether the thing she’s most afraid to taste is exactly what she’s been starving for.
