    Summary

    The French Revolution was the name given to the series of events that devastated France. At stake were the Ancien Régime and the authority of the clergy and nobility. Sydney Adisa Adamu had never imagined that a conflict would change her life forever. She was the only daughter of Emmanuel Ibrahim Adamu, the patriarch of the family Adamu with royal lineage back in the Oyo Empire and was now settled in France after her mother Jeanne Amara Adamu died.

    Sydney finds herself betrothed to the unknown English Count, Marcus Jones. If that wasn't enough, she's forced to go on a journey and follow orders from Carmen Antonio Berzatto, a gruff but incredibly seductive man who seems to have only one goal: to get her to England safely so she can marry and escape the French Revolution.

    Summary

    “We gotta get you right Syd! But we got plenty of time. We can not have you representing The Bear in your baggy sweaters and overalls.” Marcus ribs her in a playful way.

    “Dude, shut up! Let’s get back to work chefs!” Sydney calls out to the kitchen so they can get the dinner prep done before their booked night.

    Carmy taps his spoon against the back of his hand as his mind starts flooding with ideas, but instead of meat, sauce, and herbs, it’s fabrics, patterns, and stitch variations. It’s long limbs tailored to perfection around soft curves. It’s bright colors that compliment deep brown skintones.

    “Carm, hey.” Sydney snaps at his face quickly to bring his attention back to the present. “Where’d you go? Can you pass me the strainer please?”

    “Yeah, sorry chef. Um, just thinking.”

    “You wanna tell me about it?” She raises her eyebrows at him in concern. His anxiety was better than it had been in the beginning, but Sydney was still cautious about him anytime he zoned out for any significant period of time. He couldn’t admit in the middle of service how he was zoned out thinking about how he wanted to dress her.

    Summary

    In all honesty, Sydney should have connected the dots from the beginning.

    Olivia Berzatto has been her student for nearly a month and a half now, and she learned early on that the girl lived with her dad, and that her dad was a chef. How many chefs named Berzatto did Sydney know of?

    “Carmen,” he says, his hand extended to her. “I’ve heard rave reviews.”

    “Likewise,” Sydney blurts.


    OR: which is worse; falling for your daughter's first grade teacher, or falling for the father of one of your students?
