Inspired by real-life adventures, this deliciously funny and romantic story reveals a tantalising glimpse of the high-end restaurant scene: a world where chefs are treated like rock stars, and cooking isn't all that goes on in the kitchen.

Becca Stone is over her job taking reservations in one of London’s most successful restaurant empires. So when she is unexpectedly catapulted into the role of PA to celebrity chef, Damien Malone, it seems like the opportunity of a lifetime. 

Becca is quickly caught up in an exciting whirlwind of travel, reality TV and opening nights, and even her usually abysmal love life takes a turn for the better. But as Becca is slowly consumed by the chaos of life in the spotlight, she begins to lose touch with her friends, her heart and even with reality. Working with Damien has its challenges and she is soon struggling with his increasingly outrageous demands and sleazy advances, all while managing the ridiculous requests of his self-centered wife. It takes a disastrous trip to Italy for Becca to realise that she may have thrown away exactly what she's been looking for all along.
