Rosemary Field never planned on working as a private, holistic chef for a
demanding vegan actress. But then, plans have a way of going out the
window when a girl learns her parents have skipped town, leaving behind a
half-million-dollar debt.
Rosemary makes the best of her situation, putting up with her
boss's diva antics and halfheartedly fending off the advances of the
impossibly sexy stepson who comes with the high-paying gig. Then someone
decides to kill the miserable movie star. It's bad news for any chef
when a client dies from an allergic reaction after eating your cooking.
It's even worse news for Rosemary because the police are determined to
charge her with murder.
To restore her reputation (and stay out of prison), Rosemary has
to find the real murderer--and fast. Her short list of suspects
includes a womanizing race car driver, a powerful music producer,
Hollywood's hottest leading man, and, oh yeah, Felix, the dead woman's
stepson--which gets a little awkward when Rosemary starts dating him.
Unfortunately, everything Rosemary thought she knew is wrong--dead wrong.
After a romantic dinner with Felix ends in food poisoning, she
finds herself unattached, unemployed, and once again on the wrong side
of the LAPD. She knows how to salvage an oversalted sauce, but can she
salvage the disaster that is her life? And will the hunky homicide
detective help her--or book her? Views: 64
