A cooking competition on a remote Scottish island seems the perfect way to put some distance between them. Yet in the face of Luc's relentless pursuit, he's finding it harder to keep the flamboyant chef at arm's length. He never wants to be anyone's toy, ever again. Daniel definitely finds Luc appetizing, but he plays it cool. The moment he lays eyes on Daniel, however, Luc's thoughts turn from sauces to seduction. The only way to clarify this particular pat of butter is to invite the critic to dine and bury the hatchet-preferably in Daniel's back. The only stain on his toque is Daniel Sheridan, an English food critic who has made it his business to ruin Luc's reputation. His cookery program on TV is rated as high as his restaurant, and casual flings are his specialty.

French chef Luc Tessier is five-star successful.

Now he is back in New York for Christmas with his family for the first time since his loss.The pen is mightier than the cleaver.

He lost his firefighter partner, Justin, in the collapse of the twin towers and fled to Canada to attempt to rebuild his shattered life. Former NYPD cop Damon Summerfield was there. The emotional, complex relationship between the two protagonists is breathtaking.ĭamon can't forget 9/11 and all the precious things he lost… The setting is Vienna on the verge of the First World War. It concerns the poisoning of colleagues by an army officer and his cat-and-mouse game with the detective cross-examining him. A gem I bought for 20p from a charity shop and is now no longer in print.
