Mane Confliction by Kay Stewart

What happens when two people find what they never thought they were looking for?

Becca Mancini is a career-driven woman who has lived her life in search of making her dreams come true and running her own kitchen. Being raised in loud Italian family that relied on food and hockey to bring everyone together made it easy for her to fly under the radar. She has always thrived on the joy her cooking brings to those around her and being the person that people can come to when they are ready. That is until everything changed when her life was on the line and suddenly, she can’t hide in the background any longer.
Nathan Sharpe is a perfectionist and self-appointed momma’s boy who plays hockey for the Milwaukee Manes. He was raised by the best woman in the world, so he never considered getting serious about a woman until Becca Mancini caught his eye and then proceeded to hustle him like a pro. She makes him want to be different, but he struggles when he realizes that Becca is too selfless for her own good.
Nathan strives for everything in his life to be perfect and compounds mistakes when things don’t go his way, while Becca always finds a way to make the best meal out of the ingredients she has on hand. She’s had to with all of the life-altering surprises that have been thrown her way. When it’s all on the line, can an NHL hotshot and talented chef overcome their differences?
