Just One Taste

"I love, love, love Lizzy Dent."--Emily Henry, #1 New York Times bestselling author Olive Stone is about to spend four weeks in Italy with the most beautiful man she's ever hated. When Olive Stone and her Italian pseudo-celebrity chef father fell out fourteen years ago, annoyingly handsome Leo Ricci slipped right in as his surrogate son and sous-chef. No one is more surprised than Olive when her father wills her his beloved (and now failing) restaurant. Or that his dying wish was for Olive and Leo to complete his cookbook...together. She's determined to sell the restaurant. Leo is determined to convince her not to. As they embark on four weeks in Italy, traveling from Sicily to Tuscany to Liguria, they'll test each other as often as they test recipes. But the more time Olive and Leo spend together, the more undeniable their attraction grows. Olive finds herself wondering whether selling the restaurant might be running away, and what it might be like to try Just One Taste of Leo Ricci. Because he isn't who she expected, and this trip might reveal more about who Olive is than she's ready for.

One grumpy billionaire. One sassy-sweet supermodel. Add in a tropical private island paradise. What could go wrong? As owner and CEO of Dirty Dare Spirits, thirty-three year old, Asher Dare has it all. Money. Power. Women whenever he wants. A private island retreat when he doesn't. People he trusts? He can count those on one hand. When one of his best friends asks a favor-hide his twenty-one year old, supermodel sister, on the island until a scandal blows over-Asher can't say no. But he doesn't have to like it. The daughter of a Senator and a Presidential candidate, Nicolette Bettencourt always acts with decorum. Yet through no fault of her own, scandal seems to follow her every move. When nude photos surface, the uproar puts her father's campaign at risk. And forces her into hiding with Asher, the hottest-and grumpiest-billionaire she's ever met. Under soothing tropical breezes, Asher discovers that Nicolette is nothing like the spoiled brat portrayed in the tabloids. She's warm, sexy, and a temptation Asher must resist at all costs-or he risks betraying his closest friend, bringing a powerful political dynasty to its knees... and losing the woman he loves.
