Book Description
A Taste of Trouble by Gina Gordon When Liv Crawford decided to pursue her dream of owning her own bakery, it was no surprise that she forgot to add "maintaining a serious relationship" to her business plan. Not when she believes a cupcake can fix anything, even loneliness. Jake Miller isn't concerned about being lonely. He's cast aside his playboy lifestyle to pursue something more meaningful, his passion for photography. So, when his boss asks him to pursue a beautiful woman and coerce her to his office for a disguised meeting—no matter what it takes—in exchange for the opportunity to turn his hobby into a career, he jumps at the chance. At first sight, Liv awakens his long-buried desire for commitment, but his secret mission could ruin his hopes of keeping her. Despite Liv's commitment to swear off relationships to run her bakery, Jake quickly becomes her number one distraction. Yet, even her misgivings can't tame the heat as they straddle the line between love and ambition.

A Taste for Trouble: Memories from Another Time
Author: Aniruddha Bahal
Publisher: Context
ISBN: 9360454621
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
AN EASY TO READ, ANECDOTAL ACCOUNT OF THE LIFE OF ONE OF INDIA’S BEST-KNOWN INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISTS. ANIRUDDHA BAHAL has spelt trouble for the Establishment for as long as he can even remember. As a boy of barely fifteen, he ran away from home, all the way from Allahabad to Bombay—returning a week later, chastened and penniless, but with valuable lessons learnt. As a journalist, he transformed the definition and boundaries of reporting with the risks he took and the stories he chased down. And he paid the price for it. As a writer, his first novel won him international recognition— as well as the Bad Sex in Fiction Award, handed to him by no less a personage than Sting. As an entrepreneur, he went against the grain in setting up an investigative news portal at a time when speaking truth to power was no longer on the agenda of media houses. Over the years, this restless, mischievous boy from a village in Uttar Pradesh has come to epitomise the rough and tumble of political journalism in New Delhi. What does such a man see and remember when he looks back? Of people, incidents, turning points, the disappointments and the triumphs, both personal and professional? Some memories, Bahal says, are better left buried, but A Taste for Trouble brings together those that continue to keep him anchored in the present and hopeful about the future.

Book Description
The kitchen is heating up in this “sweet and spicy tale” of two chefs filled with simmering romance and bonus recipes (Booklist). Lumi Santana is a chef with the gift of synesthesia—she can perceive a person’s emotions by tasting their cooking. Despite being raised by a single mother who taught her that dreams and true love were silly fairy tales, she takes a chance and puts her heart—and savings—into opening a fusion restaurant in Manhattan, offering a mix of the Dominican food she grew up with and other cuisines she’s drawn culinary inspiration from. But when Lumi’s venture fails, she’s forced to take a position as a sous chef at a staid French restaurant in midtown owned by Julien Dax—a celebrated chef known for his acid tongue and brilliant smile. Lumi and Julien don’t get along, and she secretly vows never to taste his cooking. Little does she know that her resolve doesn’t stand a chance against his culinary prowess. As Julien produces one delectable dish after another, Lumi can no longer resist his creations. She isn’t prepared for the intense feelings that follow, throwing a curveball in her plan to move on as soon as possible. Plus, there’s the matter of Esme, Julien’s receptionist, who seems to always be near and watching. And as the attraction between Lumi and Julien simmers, Lumi is shaken by a tragedy that complicates not only her professional plans, but her love life . . . “This delightful debut charms the reader with its unique conflict, savory dishes, and engaging characters that warm your heart.” —Priscilla Oliveras, USA Today-bestselling author of Kiss Me, Catalina

Sydney Marshall is a planner. Young, bright, and talented, she is living the dream, complete with a luxury penthouse, designer clothes, jet-black BMW M6, and a seemingly unlimited cash flow. It's a lifestyle most women would do almost anything to attain... and Sydney is no exception. She has paid a steep price to get to where she is, and the only thing darker than her past may be what lies ahead. After a lifetime of mistakes and picking herself up off the ground, Sydney has learned to control her world by trusting no one and focusing on her growing list of enemies rather than her shrinking list of friends. It is a good plan... a plan that works... a plan that keeps her alive. It is also a plan that never accounted for the one thing that she couldn't control - love. Risking a broken heart for love is one thing. Risking your life is another.
