Surely Miranda can find a way to cut the hotshot chef down to size once she learns what really goes on at his trendy Manhattan restaurant.

But I like thinking about it in terms of magic more. To read more of Julie’s thoughts please click here. Visit FreshFiction.com to learn more about books and authors.
