WHAT CHASE WESTMORELAND WANTED...Something sure looked tempting, and Chase knew it wasn't on his restaurant's menu. His new neighbor Jessica Claiborne was as deliciously enticing as the confections she created—so enticing, Chase was finding it difficult to concentrate on anything but the curve of her lips. CHASE WESTMORELAND GOT! Jessica couldn't deny the heat that sparked every time Chase was near. But she had a secret, one that could destroy the desire she saw burning in his eyes. Yet if she wanted a chance with Chase, she was going to have to reveal the truth and withstand the heat that was bound to go beyond the kitchen.
