He’s the bad-boy chef my brother warned me about.

He’s also the man I’ve crushed on for years.

My brother’s best friend.

A world-class sushi chef.

Six-foot-four inches of unforgettable, muscled Viking goodness.

But why would a hot guy like Erik want me?

I’m all awkward angles and Coke bottle glasses.

Apparently, though, just his type.

The kitchen’s heating up.

We’re going head-to-head competing in a high stakes Vegas celebrity chef event.

My eyes should be on the prize. 

But I can’t seem to keep them from roaming the competition.

Except that it won’t be worth it when my brother finds out.

Plus, Erik’s in deep with the mob.

And if things go sideways?

Then it’s his career… and my life… on the line.

Despite all those things?

He’s a delicious temptation I might not be strong enough to resist.
