How Do You Say Boyfriend in French

by Aveline Fortin

Indulging in the sweetest temptations was meant to extend to desserts only... After Alex lands a fancy job in Paris as a maître chocolatier, she couldn't have predicted how everything would change; an entirely new alluring life and the icing on top? A work crush that sets her insides on fire. And when Alex proposes an extraordinary chocolate dress for the Salon du Chocolat--an avant-garde masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of art and taste--their work meetings, with Renaud in attendance, ooze nothing more than undeniable chemistry. Bound by a tormenting agreement in the clandestine depths of a dungeon, Alex and Renaud dance along the edge of passion, their desires never fully realized. Convinced they inhabit separate worlds, they deny themselves the love that simmers beneath the surface. Soon, the once distinct boundaries between them begin to blur, eroding their resistance to each other's being. But as Renaud's past demons show face, Alex finds herself standing at gruelling crossroads.
