Brazil…Hawaii…India….As a food writer,
Maeve has just been handed the hottest opportunity of her career. She’s being
sent on an international research tour for an aphrodisiac cookbook. The
downside is that she has to travel with rock star photographer and womanizer
Jackson Dodds. And the upside is that she has to travel with Jackson Dodds.
Because once they meet, Maeve understands why he’s been named “America’s Most
Eligible Bachelor”—and despite her best intentions, all she can think about is
putting their arousing recipes to the test…
Sexy and talented, Jackson can have any
woman he desires. But lately, the thrill is gone—until he lays eyes on Maeve,
who exudes sensuality like no one else. She’s determined to keep things
professional, but he knows the attraction is mutual. And as they travel the
world, sampling warming saffron, juicy papaya, silky avocado, rare herbs and teas—and
a mushroom whose very aroma sends women to heights of ecstasy—both discover a
hunger they’ve never known, and don’t want to resist, even amid unexpected
danger…
Excerpt:
“Hard to imagine these ugly little truffles are so
delicious,” she said to Jackson, as they walked toward the villa.
“Better than the jellyfish?”
“Ah, no, I don’t think so. I was surprised I like them,” she
said. Mr. Mei Lei had carefully prepared jellyfish for her dinner on her last
evening in Hong Kong. They weren’t fishy at all and she loved the golden-ink
color of the gel and the way it felt, so smooth, on her tongue, all the way
down into her throat.
“I’m surprised you remember how much I liked the jellyfish,”
she said.
“Why?” he said, tilting his head just so and she imagined
tilting her head the other way, just so.
Lips on lips. Tongues
twirling. The memories of their kiss tugged at her.
“I just didn’t think you were paying attention,” she said.
“You’d be surprised what I see when it looks like I’m not
paying attention,” he said, moving closer to her. She could see, now, the faint
pink tint around his nose and lips from the cold. He grinned. Don’t do that,
don’t look at me like that while I’m trying to work. Don’t look at me as if you
know exactly what I’m thinking, as if you know exactly what to do with all
these body parts standing at attention, tingling.
She looked away at the resting dogs.
