RT Magazine calls her works silky and addictive, nominating Florand for Best Book of the Year, Publishers Weekly says they’re decadent, and Library Journal says they’re as sexy and flirtatious as… poignant and caring. Now international bestselling author Laura Florand brings you her sexiest, sweetest romance to date. Some crushes aren’t meant to be. When her older brother’s best friend left to join the Foreign Legion, eighteen-year-old C lie moved on to make a life for herself as a Paris chocolatier. Now, five years later, the last thing she needs is another man to mess up her happiness. Let alone the same man. But five years in the Foreign Legion is a long time for a man to grow up, and a long time to be away from the woman he loves. Especially when he did it all for her. Half strangers, more than friends, and maybe, if Joss Castel has his way, a second chance… Praise for Laura Florand and her novels Silky and addictive. - RT Book Reviews Seal of Excellence Florand outdoes herself with this exquisite confection… painstakingly crafted and decadent as the sweets it portrays, leaving the reader longing for just one little taste. - Publishers Weekly Starred Review Chocolate, Paris, and a Greek god for a hero; this delectable confection has it all! - Library Journal Starred Review (Florand) captures the nature of love, its fierce, soul-warming necessity in a way that will make you as happy as the finest bonbon could. - Eloisa James, NYT bestselling author A poignant, lovely, moving, authentic story. - Virginia Kantra, NYT bestselling author Gorgeous, brave, heart-breakingly beautiful. - Ruthie Knox, NYT bestselling author
