A picky chef meets a non-picky chef, and their conflicting opinions lead to heated arguments--and hateful lust.

*****

Béatrice Balzac is an accomplished chef with restaurants around the globe, best-selling cookbooks, prize-worthy nonfiction novels, and now, a TV show. Guest chefs come from all around Los Angeles to fool her into eating food she doesn't like, and they win money if they trick her. But when Zane Rose, a notorious anti picky eater is invited to her show without her knowledge, Béa is in a panic. Not only because he's a jerk who can't get behind her picky principles, but because they had a drunken, violent one-night-stand a few nights prior, and it's clear her producers are trying to test her.
Sharing Los Angeles with Zane will be tricky; how can she avoid him and his handsome physique and evil tongue while trying to maintain her dignity? How can she preserve her reputation before Zane makes her out to be an idiot? Because Zane is clearly out to get her, and he won't stop until he's toppled her entire empire and left her with nothing.

WARNING: R-RATED MATURE CONTENT Gabe stalks towards me, and I back away until my back hits his door. He puts both his hands up against the door trapping me. "Admit it Skylar, you feel something between us," he purrs. "N-no I don't," I lie. "Your lying," he calls me out. "And now that I know there's a chance, I'm not letting go of you that easy." "W-what is that supposed to mean?" "It means my baby brother better watch his back, cause he now has competition." "You're crazy," I look at him in disbelief. "Crazy for you," he breaths against my mouth. He catches me off guard by wrapping his hand around the back of my neck and pulls me into him, crashing his lips to mine. He tongue gets access to mine and he presses his body against me, making it harder for me to break free. No way, I'm not giving in this time. I push him off of me and slap him across the face. "Stay away from me!" I shout, and storm out of his bedroom. I run out the house, and thank god he doesn't follow me. Once I feel like I'm far enough I stop and take a breath. What the hell is happening? How could everything go so wrong and so upside down in just a couple of days.
