She came to cook. Love was never on the menu.

After a public meltdown torpedoes her culinary career, chef Chloe Foster reluctantly agrees to a hush-hush job as private chef to Hollywood’s clean-eating heartthrob, Charlie Davis. But instead of sunny L.A., she’s shipped off to a remote island off the coast of Maine… in the dead of winter.

With her career hanging in the balance and her heart pulled in two very different directions, Chloe must figure out what she really wants: the dream job that once defined her, or the messy, mouthwatering life that’s taking shape on the edge of the Atlantic.

The Only Catch is a delicious love story with a recipe for heartbreak, healing, and second chances—served with butter and a side of steam.

Coming June 9,2026

About the author


Jess Turner began her career as a journalist and spent several years working for newspapers and magazines before realizing that she only wanted to write romantic stories. A New Englander to the core, she grew up in Maine and currently lives in Vermont, where she hatches schemes, pretends she’s the mayor, and does not ski. She loves to bake cakes, read about powerful women, listen to trashy celebrity podcasts and make hideous crafts with her daughter. 

The Only Catch, coming in 2026 from City Owl Press, is her debut novel. 

Claire Charles Says Yes, coming in 2027 from City Owl Press.
