Marisol

Marisol Vega has run El Faro's kitchen for eight years without ever being given a title. When the regional director walks in, she expects the usual. She gets Rafael Duarte — forty-seven, precise, and the author of the review that ended her father's career. His offer: redesign six restaurants under her own name. His price: work for him, side by side, for one year. She takes it. What she doesn't take is his apology. Not at first. But every property they walk through together, every late service, every argument over salt and ownership, makes it harder to keep him a villain. When the board tries to gut her program, Rafael offers up his contract to save it. Marisol won't let him. An age-gap boss romance about a woman who refuses to be rescued, and a man who has to learn how to stand beside her.
