The Bitch in the Kitchen — Paul Martin

The return of an abusive ex-boyfriend only adds to Anna Marie Elizabeth Flannigan's many woes. Lisa, more commonly referred to as The Bitch in the Kitchen, is fighting hard to keep her family restaurant. Her ex, Rueben Kincaid, a constant turnover in staff and a health inspector's demand for an extensive list of major repairs to be completed in a month are the main ingredients in the disastrous recipe of her life. Her only bright spot was the hiring of JD, a super sexy dish washer.

Jake Dante, a successful architect, is near mental collapse from mourning his dead wife. Sent on sabbatical he arrives in Reno and is mugged on the way to the hotel. Robbed of everything, including his memory, JD begins a new life. Working at Lisa's he finds peace of mind as well as a woman who stirs a long buried passion inside him.
