A Michelin two-star chef at twenty-eight, Violette Lenoir could handle anything, including a cocky burglar who broke into her restaurant in the middle of the night. Or so she thought. Elite counterterrorist operative Chase Smith had been through things that made Hell Week look easy. But nothing had prepared him for a leather-clad blonde who held him at bay at knifepoint and dared him to take her on. Now if only saving the world didn’t require he ruin her life. Two people who thought they could handle anything now have to take on each other. It’s a battle neither one expected. But with their futures on the line, they have nothing to lose…but their hearts. Warning: This book contains one arrogant Navy SEAL, nights of Paris passion, and a woman who wants to have it all.
