Thanks for the rec!

(Of course now you made me ask the generator for Lucie / Karen summaries. "With her bright clothes and even brighter outlook, Lucie is no ordinary PA! And Karen is beginning to wonder why she's hired her...")

My pleasure. :-)

And, LOL, they work quite well - I got this:

232) Falling for Her Rival by Jackie Braun
For chef Lucie Miller, it's time to turn up the heat. Three years ago she hit rock bottom. Now she's ready for a comeback, starting with winning a TV competition to secure a spot running New York's trendiest kitchen! She just didn't count on her attraction to rival Karen Coltraine burning a hole in her plans…

Karen has worked her apron off for this opportunity, and total focus on the competition was the plan - which is difficult when all she can think about is wanting her opponent out of the kitchen and in her bed! But there can only be one winner, and sometimes, to win, a girl has to play dirty!

As Lucie might put it, bottoms don't get much rockier than To The Death :-)

And those two playing dirty tricks in a TV cookery competition? There'll be cake everywhere...

I thought you'd be impressed with that one. :-)
