Romance Erotica Sensual

Alyssa Devereaux has had her eye on Luc Traverson from the moment she first saw him. When he offers his culinary skills for a personal favor, she is more than ready to help him out. To her dismay, after six hours of pure delight, he disappears, never returning her calls, but confirming through his secretary that he will keep their agreement to be her guest chef at her new restaurants opening week. The moment she spots him across the floor of her gentlemen's club, she instantly begins to remember every word and every caress. From the look on his face, he is not happy to be anywhere near her or the club. They have mutual friends, so it's not a secret what she does for a living.

Luc Traverson's guilt of unleashing his dark side during a night of delicious pleasure has him running from the one woman he can't have. She just doesn't fit his ideal prospect of a dutiful wife and devoted mother; she is an ex- stripper and owns a gentlemen's club. It doesn't matter if her restaurant is a premier one. The thought of introducing her to his colleagues in the culinary world makes his head spin.

Regardless of what Luc's mind is telling him, his body is on full alert and the beast inside is roaring for his mate. Alyssa tests his control every time he's anywhere near her; his defenses are becoming more difficult to keep up. When some admirers start threatening her life, it brings out Luc's protective side. Still, he is unable to tell her the truth, that she just doesn't fit his mold.

DELICIOUS is exciting, thrilling, full of action and sexy as hell. My suggestion is not to miss out on this fabulous read.

SUMMARY

He can’t control his desire.
Luc Traverson’s entire future is planned outβ€”but there is one very sexy obstacle in his path: Alyssa Devereaux . She’s a former exotic dancer turned strip club owner and restaurateur. Recently, Alyssa and Luc shared one night of wild abandon that left Luc terrified by his loss of self- controlβ€”and Alyssa desperate for more. And that’s just the way she wants it.
Fulfilling a promise, Luc is the guest chef for Alyssa’s restaurant debut. The sight of her makes Luc wild, so how can he survive a week without letting loose and ravaging herβ€”especially when she’s begging for it? Luc’s desire for her explodes when he realizes he isn’t the only man desperate to have her. But one of the others is deadly. And that’s not the end of Alyssa’s secrets…which are as dark and mysterious and enticing as her fantasies.
