Santino Amato is one of New York City’s hottest chefs and restaurateurs… in every sense of the word.
Covered in tattoos, with no shortage of charm or talent, it’s no surprise that he’s captured the attention of those who watch him on TV, as well as anyone lucky enough to get a table at his popular SoHo restaurant.
Though his impulsive, and at times intensely passionate ways, have helped him thrive under the pressures that are synonymous with the hospitality industry, they’ve also earned him the reputation of being the bad boy of the culinary world.
After an incident with an industry rival that almost cost him being eligible for a coveted award that would solidify him as a top contender in his career, it’s at the advice of his attorney that a publicist joins his team to help repair his image.
Given Santino’s new-found celebrity status, something he has come to begrudgingly accept, having just any publicist won’t cut it.
He needs the best.
He needs Lorena Ramos.
One of the most sought after publicists among high-profile clientele, who knows how to wrangle her clients in order to rebuild public perception.
As beautiful as she is intelligent, and as guarded - if not more - as Santino, she’s a force to be reckoned with.
And being that she’s his best friend’s sister, she is no stranger to his antics, or his irresistible charm, as forbidden as it may be.
But it doesn’t take long for her to discover that the root of his issues is much deeper than anyone realizes, making her both the most qualified yet unprepared for the job, something she isn’t used to.
When professional lines become blurred, and a secret friends with benefits situation forms, with one wanting more, and the other afraid to admit they want the same, there’s no telling whose image will be on the chopping block next.
She may be off-limits, but there’s nothing he wouldn’t do to make her his.
Even if it costs him everything he’s ever worked for.
Because the only image he cares about is the one they create together in secret, when it’s just the two of them doing what they’ve both avoided for too long…indulging their hearts while indulging each other, and allowing the other in.
