Daniel Whitmore in on the down. The job he had loved as a chef at one of the best restaurants in London came with a catch; his father in law was his boss. Newly divorced, and trying to balance being a good dad whilst finding a new job, he's stuck in a rut. Living with his best friend is only supposed to be temporary, but he can't seem to catch a break.
Athena Lawson-Castlefield has the world at her feet, often quite literally. The daughter of a Scottish Viscount, she has built a mini-business empire of her own. To the outside world she is the event manager to the world's biggest firms, and wealthiest families. For those in the know, she's so much more.
Needing a chef for one of her exclusive private parties, a chance meeting leads her to taking a risk on Daniel.
He's an excellent chef, but is he prepared to submit to her world?
