Love is not on her menu.When Blue is thrust unexpectedly into Sokach's kitchen, she finds he's hiding more than a secret ingredient, and Sokach will have to choose between duty and savoring the sweet tooth he's developing for the feisty baker.To save his goddess, can he make his head resist where his heart wants to go?
