She came to review the food.
She didn’t expect to fall for the troll.

Elise Moreau travels the world tasting fire and flavor—but nothing prepares her for Iceland’s most exclusive underground restaurant. The chef is infuriating. The cave is claustrophobic. And the chemistry between them? Volcanic.

Stenrik built his sanctuary beneath the earth for a reason. In summer’s endless daylight, he belongs to the shadows.
Until she descends.

Five nights.
One cave.
And a love story served dangerously hot.

Grumpy chef x sunshine critic.
Midnight sun.
Luxury Icelandic cuisine.
Steamy paranormal romance.
