Publisher Description
From Reviewers Choice Best Book of the Year nominee and international bestselling author Laura Florand:
Her father’s worst enemy...
Top chef Gabriel Delange never forgave his old nemesis Pierre Manon for all the other chef had cost him.
One stolen rose...
And he most certainly couldn’t stand the sight of his own most famous dessert, the legendary Rose, claimed as Pierre’s own on the cover of his new cookbook.
A beast’s substitute victim...
But even Gabriel could hardly go through with a lawsuit when he learned the older chef had just had a stroke. Especially not when Pierre had one very cute daughter willing to be Gabriel’s victim instead.
A fascinated beauty...
As a child, Jolie Manon had seen her family torn apart by her top chef father’s obsession with his work. As a food writer, she might be fascinated with a chef’s work, but she knew how to guard her heart. She would never allow another chef into her life.
Unless he blackmailed her into it...
Welcome to the heat and sun of Provence, where jasmine and roses climb up old colored walls, where fountains play in ancient stone villages, and where even a beast can prove he is a prince at heart...
Also available in La Vie en Roses series
Turning Up the Heat (a prequel novella, Léa and Daniel’s story)

Customer Reviews
Delicious!
This is my idea of a perfect romance; you get both the hero and heroines viewpoints as it unfolds, the plot is the relationship unfolding between the two lovers (who are both great characters), it’s sweet and funny, touching and as an after affect (other than becoming obsessed with baking and eating more chocolate as if one needs an excuse) it’s made me think about food and creativity in a new light. After reading this one I bought three of the author’s books. None were as good as this one (dissapointing - they started out so well), but The Chocolate Touch is very sweet and I’d recommend that one if you enjoy this one.
