So Wicked

Book excerpt: "Between the deliciously dirty and tattooed Marshall to the tasty treats within its pages, So Wicked left me hungry for more." -- Brighton Walsh, author of Caged in Winter. "Melissa's books are unique and masterful, filled with brutal emotions and unstoppable hope. A definite must read for anyone who loves sensual and smart romance." -- Ellis Leigh, USA Today bestselling author Fate has a wicked sense of humor. Alexis's new life was made up of two things: baking and hiding the details of her old life in Chicago. The first allowed her to finally find some happiness. And the second is about to be destroyed by a man who knows all her secrets. Marshall Rawlins was prepared to do anything when he moved cross-country to launch an upscale cocktail bar---anything except work with Alexis, his best friend and business partner's ex-wife. Adding Alexis's boozy-baked goods to his menu would be a major feat for his bar. But striking a deal means getting in bed with the enemy. Battling between distrust and desire, Alexis and Marshall give in to a passionate, forbidden affair. They know if they're discovered the consequences would be bad---it's just hard to remember that when being together feels so, so good. Praise for Melissa Marino: "I was totally blown away.... It was one of those rare reads that has everything I love in a book: a spitfire heroine, a swoon worthy hero, a captivating plot, and an unforgettable love story. Marino's ability to transcribe emotions left me spellbound. She has a reader for life!" -- Tara Sue Me, New York Times bestselling author of the Submissive series on So Twisted.
