The Chocolate Heart

In this fifth book of the Paris Chocolate series, the author takes readers into a top pastry kitchen of a luxury hotel in Paris for a novel that Publishers Weekly praised as an "exquisite confection." Florand, lecturer in Romance Studies, conducted behind-the-scenes research in a real Michelin 3-star kitchen for her book.

No one hates Paris - except Summer Corey. The moody winters. The artists and their ennui. The inescapable shadow of the Tour Eiffel. But things go from bad to worse when Summer stumbles into brooding, gorgeous chef pâtissier Luc Leroi and indecently propositions the hero of French cuisine.

Luc has scrambled up from a childhood panhandling in the Paris Métro to become the king of his city, and he has no patience for this spoiled princess, even if she does now own his restaurant. Who cares if she smiles with all the warmth of July? She doesn't eat dessert! There is only one way to tempt her. A perfect, impossibly sweet seduction.
