A Table Set for Ruin
Five years ago, private chef Sloane Baptiste walked away from Adrian Laurent when he wouldn't choose her in the open. Now he needs her to save his family's flagship Paris restaurant before a hostile board vote destroys it—and she needs the win too much to say no. Seven brutal services, one stolen recipe archive, and a rooftop garden reunion later, their old hunger is impossible to ration. But when leaked photographs turn their private history into public scandal, Adrian's first instinct to manage the damage instead of standing beside her cracks everything open again. This time, love without secrecy will cost him real power—and cost her a fortune she's tempted to take. A Table Set for Ruin is an mature, decadent second-chance romance about appetite, ownership, and the costly, glorious choice to want each other in full view. Free sample available.
