Health Codes and Boundaries
Two years ago, Dani Reyes walked away without asking one more question.
Now she's sharing a commissary kitchen with the man she left behind.
Dani built her reputation at Salt + Bright on precision, control, and the ability to keep complicated systems running cleanly. Early mornings. Tight prep schedules. Long service lines. No wasted motion.
No unfinished business.
But when Salt + Bright is forced to move into a new shared kitchen, Dani finds herself working fifteen feet away from Eli Santos - the quiet, steady food truck owner she hasn't spoken to since the incubator program that ended badly.
Or at least, badly according to the version of the story she's carried for two years.
As the weeks pass, shared prep sessions turn into conversations. Conversations turn into revisions. And the more Dani uncovers about what actually happened between them, the harder it becomes to hold onto the clean ending she once chose for herself.
Because some relationships don't collapse all at once.
Sometimes they wait.
Quietly.
Patiently.
Like dough still rising in the back of the kitchen.
Health Codes and Boundaries is a slow-burn contemporary romance about second chances, emotional timing, food truck culture, and the difficult work of staying long enough to understand someone properly.
