BLURB:
Because the way to a man's heart…
Eight
years ago, the world was their oyster. Until, that is, competing chefs Ethan
Martin and James Lassiter's hot and heavy relationship fizzled after Jamie left
for an internship in Paris. Even though Jamie's career has taken off since his
return to the States, with his own television show and a lot of fame, his
feelings for Ethan have never quite gone away.
Ethan's
culinary career has developed more slowly, but he's almost saved enough to buy
the restaurant where he works and re-open it as his dream spot, Bistro 30. If
only he could get the sexy chef who loved him and left him out of his mind.
But
when someone starts sabotaging the restaurant and a fire threatens to take away
everything Ethan holds dear, his only option is to rely on Jamie for help. Back
in close quarters, the two men will have to find a way to work through their
past if they hope to save the restaurant—and their future.
See how Ethan and Jamie's romance began in In the Raw, available now!
EXCERPT:
When we made it to the sofa I nudged him
to sit. Instead, he turned to face me. Even intoxicated, the way Ethan looked
at me now, heavy lidded eyes tinged with heat, was the way I’d remembered him.
No anger, no accusations, no bitterness, just a hint of my Ethan. But he
wasn’t my Ethan anymore, was he?
When he slid his hands up my arms to cup
my face I should have moved. I should have told him no. But I didn’t. Instead
my heart warred with my mind over what was right and what I had dreamed of
since we said our last goodbyes all those years ago. This was the reason I
couldn’t stay with anyone. No one but Ethan had ever made me feel alive like
this.
I watched with shock as he leaned in
close and brushed his lips over mine. A sigh escaped him as his fingers curled
against my skin. Overwhelmed by how good he felt against me, I closed my eyes
and breathed him in.
When I parted my lips, Ethan’s tongue
brushed against mine and my resistance broke. My fingers tightened against the
fabric of his borrowed T-shirt, pulling him closer as he deepened the kiss. I
startled when a hint of metal brushed my tongue, knowing I’d discovered a new
piercing.
Ethan’s low groan echoed mine and I
turned my head, kissing him deeper. Passion warred with possessive need as he
responded, both of us vying for dominance as we each tried to control the kiss.
This was too much. With a pained sound, I pulled back, my breath uneven as I
rested my forehead against his. As good as this felt, it was too much to digest
after too much time had passed, coupled with alcohol and bad judgment.
“You need to sleep.”
He nodded and I stepped back and grabbed
a blanket from the closet, nudging him to lie on the couch. I spread it over
him and Ethan’s eyes finally closed as his body sank against the cushions. When
I straightened up to shut off of the lamp next to the couch I froze at his
barely audible words.
“I would have chosen you.”
