Josie Merrick came home to Cedar Falls to hide, not to cook - three years after a business partnership imploded and took her confidence with it. Then her aunt Bev decides to retire, and 'helping out' quietly becomes 'taking over.'

Theo Marsh has eaten in a hundred and eleven small-town diners across four years of anonymous restaurant criticism. He's never once wanted to stay in one long enough to fall for the chef - until Cedar Falls, and a pot roast, and a woman who doesn't yet believe her own cooking is good enough to have a name on it.

When Josie discovers exactly who's been sitting in his usual booth for three weeks, she has to decide whether a critic's silence was a betrayal or just a man too scared to risk the best thing that's happened to him in years.

Last Order is a warm, food-loving small-town romance - no cheating, no cliffhanger, guaranteed happy ending.
