Description
The Heart of Paris

Welcome to La Maison des Sorcieres. Where the window display is an enchanted forest of sweets, a collection of conical hats delights the eye and the habitués nibble chocolate witches from fanciful mismatched china. While in their tiny blue kitchen, Magalie Chaudron and her two aunts stir wishes into bubbling pots of heavenly chocolat chaud.

But no amount of wishing will rid them of interloper Philippe Lyonais, who has the gall to open one of his world famous pastry shops right down the street. Philippe's creations seem to hold a magic of their own, drawing crowds of beautiful women to their little isle amidst the Seine, and tempting even Magalie to venture out of her ivory tower and take a chance, a taste. . .a kiss.

Parisian princesses, chocolate witches, pâtissier princes and sweet wishes--an enchanting tale of amour et chocolat.

The Heart of Paris

Welcome to La Maison des Sorcieres.

But no amount of wishing will rid them of interloper Philippe Lyonais, who has the gall to open one of his world-famous pastry shops right down the street.

Parisian princesses, chocolate witches, pâtissier princes and sweet wishes—an enchanting tale of amour et chocolat.

Praise for The Chocolate Kiss

"A mouth-watering tale of slow-burning passion and combustible consummation that's as perfectly crafted as the hero's surprisingly complex confections and as silky and addictive as the heroine's dark chocolat chaud. Sensuous and sumptuous, The Chocolate Kiss leaves its reader with one thought: Mon Dieu, I have got to get myself to Paris!" —RT Book Reviews

"The battle of pastries is an erotic subtext for their love affair, and every bit as decadent." —Publishers Weekly

"An adorable chocolate shop and heroine, a sexy pastry chef and a hot romance set in Paris. I highly recommend this one." —Smexy Books
