The Man Behind The Menu

Reads

Zia Scarlet is not the kind of woman who loses control of a situation.Three languages. A career built on precision. A life in Morvaine that is quietly, deliberately her own. She knows how rooms work, how people work, how to sit in a space and see everything while appearing to see nothing at all.She is very good at her life.Then she takes a job at Oswald's — the most beautiful restaurant in Morvaine — and meets the most insufferable man she has ever encountered. Callan Constantine Oswald runs his kitchen like he runs everything else. Completely. Unapologetically. With a coldness that makes the staff straighten their backs without being told to.Zia is not impressed.She should have left it there.But Zia Scarlet is about to walk into a translation meeting that will end her life as she knows it — and when the walls close in and the city she loves becomes the most dangerous place she has ever stood, the only world she can disappear into is his.The man behind the menu is not who he appears to be.Neither is the situation she has found herself in.And in Morvaine, the difference between the right door and the wrong one can cost you everything
