Famous in Paris, infamous in London, Verity Durant is as well-known for her mouthwatering cuisine as for her scandalous love life. But thatโs 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 Englandโs 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 arousalโa 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, thereโs only one thing that will satisfy Stuartโs appetite for more. But is his hunger for lust, revengeโor that rarest of delicacies, love? For Verityโs past has a secret that could devour them both, even as they reach for the most delicious fruit of allโฆ
