Cleopatra Jones has spent her life on top—first as a stunning supermodel and now as the successful owner of Atlanta's hottest vegan restaurant, Soulful Food. But at 60 years old, she has closed off her heart to love and focused solely on building her successful business alongside her daughter and business partner, Sophie. That is until, 35-year-old supermodel Destiny Jackson walks into her restaurant and turns Cleopatra's carefully curated life upside down.

Destiny is everything she never knew she wanted, but with a 25-year age difference and scars from past relationships, Cleopatra is afraid to open up her heart again. Will Cleopatra let go of her past and open up to a future with Destiny? Or will fear hold her back from savoring life's most delectable dish? Set against the backdrop of Atlanta's food and fashion scene, Ain't Too Old to Grind is a steamy age-gap romance that proves love knows no bounds.
