Effie Daniels left nothing to chance. A determined CFO of an internet startup, she counted numbers, weighed the cost against the benefits, and always made the argument for the more frugal option. Which meant she hadnât made her decision to hire a personal chef lightly. However being pampered the weekend before Valentineâs Day would give her the strength to deal with the endless parade of chocolate and flowers that always invaded the office, and would fill her freezer so she wouldnât have to cook for a while. If she happened to hire sexy star chef Nessos Aragnos, well donât let anyone say the company wasnât doing well. She just had to remember, sheâd paid him to be there and when the weekend was over, heâd leave only his delicious creations behind.
The instant Nessos had seen Effieâs picture on her companyâs website, heâd known she was his fated mate. That sheâd hired him proved it. Plus, itâd provide the perfect opportunity to seduce her with his food and with his body. He was more than ready to take on the challenge of convincing her they were mates.
When she discovers heâs also a centaur, Effieâs wondering if thereâs a little magic, or something, in the food Nessos is cooking for her. Sheâs willing to accept that Nessos isnât human. That theyâre mates? Well thatâs going to take a little more convincing, one delectable dish at a time.
