Once Burned

ebook

Temptation never tasted so good.

Close to the Heat, Book 1

With a chance to win a cooking competition that will advance her career, the last thing food truck chef Pepper Joseph needs is a distraction. Except she's got a heaping helping of it in the form of fellow chef Darien Priest, the man who broke her heart.

It's been years, and she tells herself she's over his betrayal, but to her irritation, she finds she still has an appetite for his steel-gray eyes, clean-shaven head, and sleeve tattoos.

Darien regrets the single, juvenile act that ended it with Pepper, but he's never found the courage to apologize. Now that they're in close quarters, something's steaming and it's not just the saucepots. One toe-curling kiss proves there's the potential for more than just a guarded friendship, and he sets out to prove he's grown into an honorable man.

Until he discovers she's pulled a seasoning switch that could have ruined one of his dishes. Now it's on. There's ten thousand dollars on the line, but if they don't surrender to another chance at love, one—or both—of their wounded hearts could get singed.

Warning: "Scorching hot" doesn't refer to the food. Contains two chefs who'll inspire cravings of the very carnal kind. Includes one delicious recipe guaranteed to blow any diet out of the water.
