Blazing Hot Chef

Book excerpt: When Paolo and Marina meet... they really turn up the heat! Ask anyone and they will tell you: Paolo Perso is living the dream. His cooking show is number one, his new retail food line is about to launch, and his 5-star restaurant in Los Angeles is so popular you have to know someone just to get a reservation. So why does he feel like someone deflated his soufflé? Marina Blaze has worked hard to get where she is. A long-time assistant producer for The Eating Channel, she's just been given her big break: Producer of her own project; a special series of cooking shows featuring Paolo Perso, celebrity chef. But when the cameras start rolling, it's clear this show will end up going from the frying pan into the fire... unless she can whip it all into shape! Will Paolo’s performance prevent Marina from reaching her career climax, or can she put the flavor back into his sauce?
