It’s the Christmas season in the tiny Kingdom of Maatkare, and the royal family needs a chef. Desperate to prove herself after her first restaurant failed, Ana Rizzo jumps at this chance for redemption and nabs the high-paying, short-term job. The opportunity couldn’t be more perfect. Ana will be able to stretch her culinary skills, earn enough money to open another restaurant, and still be able to give her adopted daughter the attention she needs. Her biggest challenge will be winning over the family’s elderly cook and getting Noel Yared, the middle son, to give her food his stamp of approval. She only cares about Noel’s palate, not his soulful brown eyes, his gorgeous runner’s body, and his amazing kisses. An avid runner herself, Ana pushes herself to keep up with Noel during their daily runs. But she’s finding the biggest challenge is resisting Noel’s charm.
Noel finds Ana endlessly fascinating and incredibly sexy. With a bit of charming persuasion from him, the two begin what they both know is a short-term affair. No rules, no heartache, just great sex and a bit of fun. So when he believes Ana has betrayed his family’s trust, he’s glad his heart wasn’t involved. Glad she’s gone. Glad he’ll never see her again. Until he realizes a couple terrible truths too late: Ana was actually the one who was betrayed, and somehow he’s fallen hard for her. Now he needs a bit of Christmas magic to prove he’s worthy of her love.
I would like to thank Leslie North and Netgalley for a copy of this wonderful book.
Ana Rizzo is a single mum which a divorce and a failed restaurant. She comes to the Kingdom of Maatkare for a wonderful job opportunity as a Royal Chef for the Christmas holidays. Noel Yared is the 2nd oldest son of the Sheik Yared and is a stickler for traditional foods. Can Ana do the food justice? Will Noel let Ana bring in some flair with the foods over the Christmas holidays? Will Ana's heart be broken? Who is behind the missing food and what happens when Noel finds out Ana wasn't really the thief?
I loved reading all about the Yared family and absolutely LOVE Leslie North's characters.
