In this emotional and sexy New Adult debut from Brighton Walsh, the only thing more frightening than commitment is hope…...Aspiring chef Cade Maxwell is immediately, viscerally attracted to Winter Jacobson. But it’s not her mouthwatering curves he’s drawn to—it’s the strange emptiness in her eyes. When Cade saves her from a drunken customer with grabby hands, he’s shocked at her response…...

Winter doesn’t need Cade’s help. After a lifetime of getting by on her own, she’s happy to rely on herself. She’s exactly seventy-six days away from graduating college, and if she can hold it together that long, she’ll finally be able to rise above the crappy hand she was dealt.

But now, every time she turns around, Cade is there, ready to push her, smile at her, distract her from her plans. Winter knows she can’t afford to open up—especially to a man she’s terrified to actually want….

Cooking with Cade

I asked Cade to share with other guys out there how to cook up a first date meal that is sure to make the girls swoon!

Here is his response:


I’m probably not the best one to give advice on what do make on a first date. Not because I don’t know how to cook—I do—but because if history is anything to go by, I’m kind of an idiot about it. Guys, let me save you from repeating my mistakes: first things first, ask your girl what she likes. Does she have any allergies? Is she a vegetarian? I didn’t ask Winter any questions before I decided what I was making. Fortunately, she had no aversions and ate what I fed her (marinated hanger steak topped with butter and shaved blue cheese, with a side of grilled asparagus).
That might be a bit ambitious for some, so let’s start with the basics—get some wine (maybe a bottle of white and red, so you have her preference on hand). Also, pick one thing, focus on it, and do it well. If you make amazing desserts, make dessert. If you can’t do dessert worth shit, find a bakery and spend your energy cooking the main course.
Finally, get her involved. If I’d known on that first date just how hot cooking with Winter could be, I would’ve dragged her around the island and had her help. Cooking is sensual by nature, and doing it with a date amps up that sexual chemistry that can only be matched between the sheets (or on whatever surface you’re fond of).

  4. Sense of humor is what attractions me the most. If he can't find humor in everyday life then he'd be pretty miserable to spend time with.
