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 hadnāt made her decision to hire a personal chef lightly. However being pampered the weekend before Valentineās 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 wouldnāt have to cook for a while. If she happened to hire sexy star chef Nessos Aragnos, well donāt let anyone say the company wasnāt doing well. She just had to remember, sheād paid him to be there and when the weekend was over, heād leave only his delicious creations behind.
The instant Nessos had seen Effieās picture on her companyās website, heād known she was his fated mate. That sheād hired him proved it. Plus, itād 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 heās also a centaur, Effieās wondering if thereās a little magic, or something, in the food Nessos is cooking for her. Sheās willing to accept that Nessos isnāt human. That theyāre mates? Well thatās going to take a little more convincing, one delectable dish at a time.
