Flirting With the Forbidden (17 page)

‘Rob Beresford,’ she said out loud, and instantly clenched her teeth tight shut.

Thinking out loud had always been her worst habit and she’d thought she had it beaten. Apparently not. Her mouth gaped open in confusion.

And why not?

Rob Beresford. Her least-favourite chef in the world. And the man who had single-handedly tried to destroy her career.
