Sinful Tether
(Book 1 of TETHERED PATHS SERIES)
Synopsis:
Two years ago, Lucien Henri Blanc and Juliette Alessia Isella met under the most unexpected circumstances. Lucien, a blind Michelin-starred chef, was introduced to the world of America’s elite restaurant scene. He never thought he’d fall for the daughter of his father’s biggest rival—Juliette Alessia Isella—a cold, calculating ice queen who is rumored to be spoiled and unapproachable. But on a plane ride, when their paths crossed, Lucien’s life took a turn.
He recognized her voice instantly and, from that moment on, obsession took root. Keeping his true feelings hidden under a facade of friendship, Lucien plays the long game, using their business partnership as a cover to stay close. What started as mutual respect between two talented chefs has evolved into something far darker.
Lucien, though blind, has an unnerving ability to feel everything about Juliette. Her presence consumes him, and he’s determined to get under her icy exterior. For Juliette, Lucien is just her best friend—one she can trust, one who is different from the ruthless men she’s known. She doesn’t know just how deep Lucien’s obsession runs or how much she’s become his everything.
But he cooks for her, shares moments of closeness no one else gets to see, and with every touch, every intimate connection, Lucien’s grip tightens. What began as a simple business partnership is about to unravel in ways neither of them expected.
Will Juliette ever see him for what he truly is, or will Lucien's obsession pull them into something far darker than they can handle?
