Maneater

Revenge is tough to swallow...

Things for Renee Landis are finally looking up. She just quit her dead-end job at a chicken shop after landing the coveted role of junior chef at London’s pristine NOVA restaurant.

But it's not the restaurant that draws Renee in - it's the executive chef. Gracie Fitzgerald is as legendary as she is secretive, known for her succulent, signature dishes and the notorious methods in which she runs her kitchen. No one can touch her workspace with bare hands. No other chef can taste her signature dishes. And no one, under any circumstances, is allowed to enter her personal freezer…


Greedy

Ed is in trouble with the yakuza. He's gambled away all his money and his family is at risk.
But just as he’s about to lose everything, he receives an offer he can’t refuse.

A reclusive billionaire is looking for a private chef. The only catch: she has some. . . unusual tastes.

As he prepares delicious dishes – fresh crab salad with a panko crumb, lamb shank dripping in red wine juice, sweet, fluffy soufflé pancakes – he realizes that each meal is a test, a challenge to satisfy an insatiable appetite.

Caught up in a world more sinister than he could ever have imagined, Ed finds himself entangled in another debt.

As the stakes grow, he must make a choice. Will he stay hungry? Or will he be greedy?


Dinner is served.
Eat Up.
