Book Overview
Popular chef.
Billionaire playboy.
The boss.
Chelsea Bartlett knows all she needs to know about chef Grant Forelle: his reputation as a lady’s man precedes him. Now, she works in one of his restaurants, and despite his allure—and how much he flirts with her—she’s vowed not to cross the line between boss and em... ployee. After all, she dreams of owning her own business someday, and a glowing recommendation from him is at stake. And, in her heart, Chelsea knows a simple fling would never be enough.
Grant Forelle wants his restaurant to succeed, and Chelsea Bartlett just might be the person to help make that happen. But Grant isn’t counting on his intense attraction to Chelsea or the way she challenges him. And that citrus-vanilla scent that seems to permeate the air when she’s near . . . If he chooses to chase her, he’ll lose sight of his end goal: turning his restaurant around. And life is all about the restaurant business, isn’t it?
A weekend trip to Charlotte, North Carolina, changes things for both Chelsea and Grant. And now, a question for them both arises: What’s a more important pursuit, business or love?read more
BIOGRAPHY Keely Stephens grew up reading her mom’s (not very spicy) Harlequin books on summer afternoons, at a time when she couldn’t imagine a happily ever after for a shy, nerdy introvert like her. Though it took Keely a while to find the courage (and time) to write her own happily-ever-after books (both spicy and not), she’... s thrilled to have found how much she enjoys writing them. She hopes to always write strong, capable characters (of all sorts) that view sex (of all sorts) positively. Keely still reads romances on summer afternoons when she has the time, which, admittedly, is limited, thanks to all that her own happily ever after has afforded her. She loves to hear from readers, so feel free to get in touch!read more
