\nBook Title:<\/strong> Sinfully Delicious<\/p>\n

Blurb:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take one smoking-hot top chef who thinks food should be a sensual adventure, add a venture capitalist who has struggled with her weight since she was a teenager, and mix well. Is this a recipe that sizzles, or is he just another craving she must resist?
\n* * *
\nDeanna Sloan has worked too hard, dieting herself from a chubby teenager to a sleek businesswoman, to give in to her hunger now. Enduring four years as the target of her high school classmates\u2019 cruelty taught her that only three things matter\u2014power, money, and looks.
\nLeaving her small town behind, shedding the excess pounds, and obtaining a job with a six-figure salary are all steps in the right direction. However, in order to keep on target, she needs to outshine the other twenty venture capitalist associates at her new firm, maintain her weight loss, and be prepared to double-cross anyone who gets in her way. Walk in the park, right?
\nWrong! Her first assignment is an investment appraisal of one of Chicago\u2019s top chefs. Nico Thorne has come to her firm for the seed money to open his own restaurant. He is smoking hot and just a glimpse of his navy blue eyes in a photo clouds Deanna\u2019s brain and dampens her panties. Will the flesh-and-blood man make her dissolve into a puddle of mindless lust that will derail her fast track to success?<\/p>\n

Like Deanna, Nico\u2019s past drives his present choices. He hates his father for using his mother\u2019s social status to further his career, then abandoning her. As a teenager, Nico\u2019s anger at his father resulted in a hair-trigger temper and a vow never to fall in love. Although Nico may have learned to control his demons, he still avoids women who even hint at wanting anything deeper than a few nights of uncommitted fun.
\nThat is until he sees Deanna. Her cinnamon curls and soft green eyes totally captivate him. As they spend more and more time together, Nico\u2019s determination to keep their relationship casual dissolves and he realizes that she might be his amore mio. But will he be able to convince Deanna that he\u2019s the one for her?
\nDeanna fights her attraction to Nico, fearful that giving in will mean the loss of both her figure and her job. Can Nico overcome a lifetime of distrust? Can Deanna embrace life\u2014imperfections and all?
\nPublisher\u2019s warning: This book contains sensual consummated love scenes.
