Hot to the Touch

Restauranteur Darcy Clark doesn't have time for love, romance or even (these days, anyway) sex.

But she's never one to turn down a delicious dish… especially one as hot as Troy Cahill! Running her Milwaukee restaurant leaves her zero room for distraction—until an intoxicating night at the Pfister Hotel flips her iron control upside down.

Troy has never been so sure of anything. He has never wanted a woman this badly. But Darcy isn't just some conquest. He'll have to earn her trust… one delicious, exquisite night at a time! The handsome triathlete fell the second their eyes locked at a neighborhood bar, but Darcy vanished by sunrise without leaving even a phone number. Tracking down his guarded runaway takes a sneaky scheme cooked up with mutual friends. When an unscrupulous rival chef threatens to swipe her secret recipes, Troy proves he is ready to cook up some payback of his own.
