Rosemary is probably one of the most intricately sketched heroines Ive ever seen in a book, and the romance is, in a word intense, and the blending of the story was richly presented. Make it a point to read this Perfect 10 today!

For Deidre Knight, the savviest agent, sweetest friend,
and best honorary big sister a girl could wish for.
Id be lost without you!

So this is what its like to leave home, Danny mused, narrowly avoiding a collision with a woman who seemed to have forgotten she was pulling a wheeled carry-on case behind her.

LaGuardia was packed. Every bank of waiting room benches sported at least a couple of people sleeping out the wait for their delayed planes, while the terminal seethed with chaos and confusion as flights were called, boarding was announced, and everyone rushed to find the right gate.

Danny Lunden, whod never been out of New York, took it all in and tried to ignore the chills of excitement down his back.

They were on their way.

A panicking voice rose above the din of bustling passengers and PA announcements about not leaving bags unattended.

Wheres my ticket? Please tell me one of youoh, there it is. Okay. Thanks, Danny.

Patting his jittering friends shoulder was a little like grabbing hold of the business end of a hand mixer. Winslow, cool it. Were all good. Were at the gate in plenty of time.

Which had to be some sort of miracle after the adventure of wrestling luggage and carry-ons through the New York City public transit system and pushing through airport throngs walking slower than the tourists in Times Square. Danny did a quick head count to make sure he hadnt lost anyone in the subway tunnels or security lane.

Beck, their resident master of fish cookery, was always easy to spot in a crowd, since he topped the mere mortals around him by about four inches. The big guy caught Dannys eye and gave him a silent nod of acknowledgment. Beck was solid, as always, standing like an oak planted in the middle of a rushing river, carrying everything hed packed for this adventure in a single duffel bag.

Next to him was Dannys oldest friend in the world, Jules Cavanaugh. Her dark blond hair was caught up in a messy ponytail, and her eyes glittered with the thrill of finally embarking on this trip theyd been anticipating ever since they won the chance to take on the Rising Star Chef competition.

She glowed with happiness, spilling her warm light all over the guy beside her, who was busily soaking it up like a sponge cake doused in amaretto.

Max Lunden, Dannys brother. His older brother, in factand Danny had teased Jules about him for years before her unrequited crush turned into completely requited forever-hearts-and-flowers love.

And wasnt that a rolling pin upside the head, because Danny never thought hed see the day when his wandering prodigal brother would settle down and commit to anythingmuch less to winning the RSC, his family, and a woman all in one fell swoop.

But Max had.

Danny watched the way they leaned into each other, their wheeled bags bumping and threatening to trip them when they got too close, and tried to be glad the team had two such passionate, inventive chefs in charge, and ignore the unidentified tightness in his gut.

It wasnt jealousyknowing about her long-standing crush on his clueless brother, Danny had never been able to see Jules as more than a friend. Hell, Jules had been the next best thing to a sister for years, long before Max swooped back into town. The fact that Max would eventually be the one to make it official didnt bug Danny.

He wasnt sure what was bugging him, really, so he shoved it aside and turned to the guy next to him: Winslow Jones, the fastest knife on the teamand the one whod nearly been grounded by security for pleading to be allowed to carry his knife roll on the plane with himwas still vibrating under Dannys palm.
