My Homeless Bride Is a Culinary Legend

Sage had won the World Culinary Championship five times when she decided to go looking for a partner while dressed as a homeless beggar, so that whoever she found would not know who she was. People walked past her. Her ex-boyfriend recognized her and made a show of mocking her. Jasper Vance was the one who stopped and gave her his food. Jasper's family restaurant was failing and a corporation was moving to take it. He needed to look like he had money behind him, so he hired the beggar he had fed to appear as his wealthy fiancée. She took the job. The rival side pushed the Vance family into a Culinary Death Match with everything riding on it. Cornered there, Sage dropped the disguise and cooked against chefs at the top of the field, working the knife and the blue flame she is known for. Her real name came out in the middle of the match, and what had started as a hired engagement did not stay one.
