Winning has never been this dangerous.

Ryan Mitchell's polyamorous family has fought their way to the Austin Invitational Barbecue Championship -- the biggest competition in the state. After months of perfecting their craft, Chef's Kiss Barbecue is finally ready to prove they belong among the elite.

But Mari's past won't stay buried.

Her father, Salvador Torres, dominates the competition circuit with his legendary brisket and iron-fisted reputation. What the barbecue world doesn't know is what Mari's only beginning to suspect: the smoky haze around Los Torres hides something far more sinister than burnt ends.

When federal agents close in and the competition grounds become a crime scene, the quartet must finish their cook while their world implodes around them. Their championship-level barbecue might earn them a trophy, but proximity to Salvador's secrets could cost them everything.

Some fires can't be controlled. Some smoke signals danger.

In the explosive conclusion to Chef's Kiss Barbecue's first season, Ryan and his lovers discover that the heat rising from their smokers is nothing compared to the pressure of protecting the family they've built -- no matter the cost.

Book 4 in the Chef's Kiss Barbecue series. Polyamorous harem romance (MFFF) with suspenseful thriller elements, explicit content, and competition BBQ details. HFN ending.
