Skin and Bones

Hugo Burrows has life under control. He has a decent job, a long-term relationship and a flat in Canary Wharf. It's all under control. It's just becoming a little problematic trying to hold everything together. Keeping the bruises on his skin hidden away. A smile plastered on his face. Controlling the calories he allows himself to consume. And now his boss is on his back with too many questions, and the grumpy French head chef keeps staring at him like he's a freak or something. Everything is under control. It has to be. Benjamin Desjardins may be the head chef at the Clouds Hotel, but he definitely hasn't got anything under control. His relationship with his best friend is crumbling, and simply turning up for work seems to automatically cause never-ending chaotic disasters. Yet there is something about the new concierge that has crawled straight under his prickly skin. Ben doesn't need more complications in his life. In fact, the last thing he needs is to inconveniently, and reluctantly...fall in love. SKIN AND BONES can be read as a standalone but is best enjoyed if read after TASTE. Reader Advisory.
