Claimed by the Chef: Turn Up The Heat - Claimed, #4

HE'S A CHEF BORED WITH THE MENU. Adam is at a loss. He's not unhappy, but he's definitely not feeling satisfied. The submissives at Nox just aren't appealing to him anymore. So when he's asked to teach a community cooking class, he takes the position. Changing up his life might be just what he needs. SHE'S A RECIPE FOR DISASTER. Maria is almost a total recluse. She's been a walking disaster since she was a kid.
But her friends still get her out and about on the rarest of occasions, and her therapist has been suggesting more excursions out of her apartment. She didn't think signing up for a few weeks of cooking classes would be too difficult, especially if it made her therapist and her friends happy. But the first class goes very wrong. MIXING KINK & VANILLA DOESN'T WORK. Adam finds himself intrigued by the mini tornado of chaos that is Maria.
She's not his usual type. And she's not at all versed in the Lifestyle, so that should immediately negate his attraction. But there's something about this woman. Something that keeps drawing him closer. Can Adam help Maria overcome her fears of venturing out of her comfort zone? Can Maria help Adam find his balance again? Sometimes it takes a leap of faith and a willingness to TURN UP THE HEAT in order to find that perfect combination of flavors.***WARNING: This book contains elements of BDSM.
