Famous in Paris, infamous in London, Verity Durant is as
well-known for her mouthwatering cuisine as for her
scandalous love life. But that’s the least of the surprises
awaiting her new employer when he arrives at the estate of
Fairleigh Park following the unexpected death of his
brother.
Lawyer Stuart Somerset worked himself up from the slums of
Manchester to become one of the rising political stars of
England’s Parliament. To him, Verity Durant is just a name
and food is just food until her first dish touches his
lips. Only one other time has he felt such pure arousal—a
dangerous night of passion with a stranger, a young woman
who disappeared at dawn. Ten years is a long time to wait
for the main course, but when Verity Durant arrives at his
table, there’s only one thing that will satisfy Stuart’s
appetite for more. But is his hunger for lust, revenge—or
that rarest of delicacies, love? For Verity’s past has a
secret that could devour them both, even as they reach for
the most delicious fruit of all…
