A Taste Of Trouble

Kali is a bubbly culinary student who just moved into the prestigious Magnifico Tower to focus on her dreams. She expected long nights of studying and perfect recipes. She didn't expect to catch a thief stealing her red lace underwear on her first week.

Driven by adrenaline and a 12-inch cast-iron pan, Kali delivers a knockout blow to a "predator" in the stairwell-only to discover she hasn't caught a criminal. She just gave a mild concussion to Yohan Gael Salazar, a high-ranking, stoic, and dangerously handsome Special Action Force (SAF) officer.

Even worse? He's her next-door neighbor in Unit 505.

Now, Kali is on a mission of her own, Operation: Peace Offering. But as she tries to cook her way into his forgiveness, she realizes that Gael Salazar is a man of heavy silences and even heavier secrets. In a world where Gael can't promise a tomorrow, and Kali lives for every flavor of today, they're about to find out if the most lethal distraction is the girl next door-or the soldier who finally has a reason to come home.
