Shadowed Heart: A Luc and Summer Novel (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780988506589)

Three words, to shake a man's existence. Three words, to call on all a man's strength, all his courage, all his love, and all his ability to hope and dream...and trust. Three words, to wake up every fear a man has ever had. "I'm pregnant, Luc." Now how could a man be perfect enough for that? Romantic Times calls Laura Florand's writing "sensuous and sumptuous", awarding her their Seal of Excellence and nominating her for Best Book of the Year, and NPR says it's "explosive, sensual . . . and utterly sweet". Now in this sequel to The Chocolate Heart, Florand takes us into the heart of happily ever after with a story full of love, hope, and friendship. Struggling to get their new restaurant off the ground in the south of France, newly married top chef Luc Leroi and his wife Summer must face all their demons at the prospect of becoming parents. Fortunately, Summer's cousins and Luc's rival chefs are there to prove that not even a top chef has to handle everything alone and happiness really can last ever after.
