If the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, why is chef Abby Porter still sleeping alone?

Hang on. . .who's the tall, sexy man with the accent?

He's Never Misplaced His. . .

A newly minted earl like Ian Wincott has more important things to do than get overly acquainted with a mere cook. And Abby Porter is from. . .New Jersey. That alone makes his blue blood run cold, although he will admit that Abby is pretty. And amusing. Which must be why she attracts so much attention. How terribly American of her to enjoy it. Could it be that he is jealous? Or in love?
