Join Us for the Launch of This Sizzling YA Title!

Drop into our Manhattan store to discover this touchdown of a book! From award-winning author MICHAEL RUHLMAN comes a sizzling coming-of-age story about finding a new life and love in the kitchen… and trying not to get burned along the way.

In If You Can't Take the Heat, when high school football star Theo Claverback breaks his leg just weeks after a devastating break-up, he finds himself in the kitchen of an upscale French restaurant, where he’ll work as a prep cook while his heart and leg heal. But it’s in the kitchen where Theo finds new purpose and a new romance, as well as the true costs of running a restaurant — and what happens when you get into hot water with the wrong people.
