The Chef by Xavier Neal

Everyone knows you should never fall in love with your best friend’s sister…

Wyatt: My entire existence begins and ends with food.
It gives me purpose.
It gives me peace.
It gives me pleasure.
Or it did before my best friend’s little sister tempted me into taking a taste of the forbidden.
Spoiled me with her flavors.
Slaved my senses.
Now, the only thing I love more than my career as the “Charming Chef” is the one woman I know I’m not supposed to want.

Julez: After being ripped from everything I knew and everyone I loved, I realized just how truly short life can be.
How people don’t take enough risks.
How people don’t treat life like an adventure.
How people hide who they are.
While I’ve learned to embrace what most people fear, I’ve also taught myself the art of keeping others at a safe distance.

Yet, one secret moment with my brother’s best friend, and all I want is for him to come closer.
To touch me.
To take me.
To love me…
I know the danger that comes with getting attached to someone, but I’d rather die happy than live forever without him.
