Knives, Seasoning, and a Dash of Love
by Katrina Kwan
Alexander Chen is one of the most talented chefs to ever grace the culinary world of French haute cuisine. He rules his kitchen with an iron fist and fiery temper, so it's no secret that if you can't handle the heat, he'll gladly toss you out with the trash. As one of the first Chinese-American chefs to claw his way to the top, he has a lot to prove and a massive chip on his shoulder. But he wasn't always like this. Eden Monroe, his newly hired sous chef -- who may or may not have (definitely) embellished a lot on her resumé to land herself the job -- knew him back when he still went by his real name, Shang. He used to be sweet and helpful and definitely not the second coming of the devil himself. It's just a shame that she and her new boss butt heads more often than they fulfill orders. But what happens when things finally boil over, and they discover the feelings between them are spicier than they ever imagined?
