Description

When an American heiress and a French chocolatier butt heads, the business of chocolate is about to become a labor of love in this romantic comedy.

Paris

Breathtakingly beautiful, the City of Light seduces the senses, its cobbled streets thrumming with possibility. For American Cade Corey, it's a dream come true, if only she can get one infuriating French chocolatier to sign on the dotted line . . .

Chocolate

Melting, yielding yet firm, exotic, its secrets are intimately known to Sylvain Marquis. But turn them over to a brash American waving a fistful of dollars? Jamais. Not unless there's something much more delectable on the table . . .

Stolen Pleasure

Whether confections taken from a locked shop or kisses in the dark, is there anything sweeter?

Praise for The Chocolate Thief

"A delectable summer bonbon . . . The Chocolate Thief is for days when you lust not for wisdom, but for a bar of chocolate—at any price—and a hero who understands what is truly important: 'Every dream I have has you in my apartment, has you in my laboratoire, has you with my babies . . . Every chocolate I've made since I met you, I've made for you.'" —Eloisa James, NPR.org

"It's like when you find that amazing piece of chocolate—you take a bite, and it sits on your tongue and melts into a pool of liquid heaven: Florand has managed to capture that emotional experience and put it into the pages of her novel." —RT Book Reviews

"[A] comfortable beach read . . . A good, fun read." —Publishers Weekly

The Chocolate Thief
fullDescription

When an American heiress and a French chocolatier butt heads, the business of chocolate is about to become a labor of love in this romantic comedy.

Paris

Breathtakingly beautiful, the City of Light seduces the senses, its cobbled streets thrumming with possibility. For American Cade Corey, it's a dream come true, if only she can get one infuriating French chocolatier to sign on the dotted line . . .

Chocolate

Melting, yielding yet firm, exotic, its secrets are intimately known to Sylvain Marquis. But turn them over to a brash American waving a fistful of dollars? Jamais. Not unless there's something much more delectable on the table . . .

Stolen Pleasure

Whether confections taken from a locked shop or kisses in the dark, is there anything sweeter?

Praise for The Chocolate Thief

The Chocolate Thief is for days when you lust not for wisdom, but for a bar of chocolate—at any price—and a hero who understands what is truly important: 'Every dream I have has you in my apartment, has you in my laboratoire, has you with my babies . . .
