Reduction

A three-star review nearly destroyed his restaurant—now a streaming competition show is forcing food writer Tegan Alvaro to cook alongside the very chef she gutted in print. Daniel Boursier is arrogant, relentless, and refuses to let her forget what her words cost him. But the cameras can't capture what happens after the lights go down: the arguments that turn into something rawer, the vulnerability neither of them can afford, and a betrayal by a producer that threatens to reduce everything they've built to ash. Some things only get more intense under heat.
