I am the most secret Principessa of the Sicilian "Shepherd" Mafia. For my safety, my identity was a closely guarded secret since birth. I lived in the shadows, leaving the outside world entirely ignorant of my true standing. On my wedding day, my mafia fiancé allowed his female bodyguard to feed my family's heirloom token to his dog. He mocked me for coming from some "backwater" family, claiming I wasn't worthy to be his bride. He even threatened to wipe my family off the map.. Looking this, I simply made a single phone call. Moments later, armored vehicles crashed through the estate gates, and our family’s chief Consigliere knelt me in front of the terrified crowd:"Principessa, your father sent us to bring you home." It was only at that moment that my arrogant fiancé finally understood. The woman he had humiliated was the sole heir to the "Shepherd" family that controlled the European arms trade. But it was too late for regrets.

— "Porte quelque chose que je peux facilement retirer. On ne sait jamais." Le message fait monter une chaleur dans mes joues. Je tape ma réponse, mes doigts tremblants : "On verra." Tout a commencé par une odeur. Du romarin, du beurre qui grésille, et quelque chose de sucré s'infiltrant par ma fenêtre dans ce nouvel appartement parisien. Je venais de quitter Thomas, de tourner la page sur quatre années tièdes et confortables. Je cherchais un nouveau départ. Je ne m'attendais pas à trouver l'obsession. Matthieu Beaumont. Chef trois étoiles. Beau comme un péché. Intense comme un incendie. Notre histoire a commencé avec un repas partagé et un regard échangé à travers une cour intérieure. Elle a explosé dans une passion dévorante qui m'a consumée plus vite que je n'aurais cru possible. — "Goûte ça," murmure-t-il en me tendant une fourchette, ses yeux sombres ne quittant jamais les miens. "Et ferme les yeux." Le gémissement qui m'échappe le fait sourire ce sourire carnassier qui devrait m'effrayer mais qui, à la place, fait naître un feu dans mon ventre. — "Ce son," dit-il d'une voix rauque. — "J'ai envie de te l'entendre faire encore et encore. Mais pas pour de la nourriture." Trois jours. Il m'a fallu trois jours pour tomber amoureuse d'un homme que je connaissais à peine. C'est l'histoire d'un chef qui cuisine comme il fait l'amour : avec une intensité qui vous laisse pantelant et en redemandant. Ceci est notre histoire. Crue. Honnête. Pimentée.

Isn’t that enough? Don't be mad." My wolf, usually scratching to get out due to his neglect, was unusually quiet. "Okay." I didn't plan on keeping him or the job anyway.
