Burn For Me: Hotel D, #4

By Nika Stone

I've been burned by love before. But my smoking hot ex is a temptation I can't resist...

 

I had a big list of dreams when I left culinary school. Getting knocked up -- and dumped -- by my rich European boyfriend at age forty was definitely not among them.

 

Still, I'm a survivor. I reinvent myself as recipe developer and start a new business with my two best friends. I'll do whatever it takes to get our company to the next level -- even if that means working with my old flame, celebrity chef Nico Serra. It doesn't matter that he's hotter than a ghost pepper and all-too-willing to spice up my nights. I have to think about my baby's future. Nico's an all-too-sexy distraction I can't afford.

 

But while he wants to turn up the heat and give us a second chance, I'm focused on the bun in my oven. Can I believe in love after getting burned so badly? Or will I end up with nothing but a broken heart once again?

 

Burn For Me is the fourth book in the Hotel D series. These short, steamy stories feature mature couples who know what they want, in the bedroom and out! Each book in the series can be read as a standalone.
