Luc Traverson's entire future is planned out-but there is one very sexy obstacle in his way: Alyssa Deverereaux. She's a former exotic dancer turned strip club owner and restaurateur. Alyssa and Luc shared one night of wild abandon that left Luc terrified by his loss of self-control-and left Alyssa desperate for more. In order to fulfil a promise, Luc becomes the guest chef for Alyssa's restaurant debut. Seeing her again makes Luc wild. So how can he survive a week without letting loose and ravaging her-especially when she's begging for it? Luc's desire for Alyssa finally explodes when he realizes he isn't the only man desperate to have her. But the other suitor is deadly. And that's just one of Alyssa's many secrets . . . which are as dark, mysterious, and enticing as her fantasies.
