From the New York Times bestselling author of THE SEXY ONE comes a romance about fate and second chances.

Let’s say there was this guy. And he gave you the most mind-blowing night of sex in your life. And you never saw him again.

Now, it turns out he’s the ONLY ONE in all of Manhattan whose restaurant is available for my charity’s event.

The trouble is, he doesn’t recognize me.

***

This woman I’m working with is so damn alluring. The first time I set eyes on her, I’m captivated and I can’t get her out of my mind. Even if it’s risky to tango with someone I’m working with, she’s a risk I’m willing to take.

The trouble is, she won’t give me the time of day.

But I’m determined to change that.

 I lean closer to the table, soften my voice. “Forgive me, but you look so familiar…”

 Her eyes widen, and something vulnerable seems to flash in them. She brings a hand to her hair. “I do?”

 I nod vigorously. “Yes. So much. It’s eerie.”

 She swallows. “We all remind each other of others, don’t we?”

 “Perhaps we do,” I say. I’m not sure what to make of her answer so I return to the matter at hand, telling her more of what I would make for her charity fundraiser. My business manager, Eduardo, alerted me to this opportunity the other day when it landed on his desk. With my new restaurant opening a few months ago, I’ve been looking to make a splash in Manhattan. Reviews have been amazing and business has been robust, but I know that fortunes can turn on a dime. Hell, do I ever f*cking know that. “And I would make the most fantastic desserts for you, too,” I say with a wink, because that reminds me of the afternoon I met the girl in Barcelona—we’d both been eating dessert at a street-side café, where we’d started flirting.     

 “Desserts are my specialty.”

 “What would you make?” she asks, then she murmurs oh God when I tell her what I’d create for the sweetest course. The soft sound she makes stirs something in my chest, then sends a rush of heat below the belt. That sense of déjà vu sharpens, and a reel of images snaps before my eyes, like puzzle pieces fighting to connect.

 I scrub a hand over my jaw, arching an eyebrow. It’s driving me crazy. “Are you sure we’ve never met?”

Lauren Blakely’s The Only One is a bite sized read that packed a flavoursome punch.

It tells the story of Penelope and Gabriel. Ten years before the novella begins, he is an aspiring Chef and she about to forge a career as a Wall Street analyst. They have a brief but passionate affair in Barcelona. When it comes time for them to return to their respective countries, their feelings are so strong that they make a romantic oath to reunite in New York.

It’s a heart-breaking experience for Penny when Gabriel fails to turn up. As much as she would ignore it, Gabriel’s imprint is permanent, she often still thinks of him and their time together.

Ten years is a long time, and although her romantic life may be stuck in the past, her career is new and improved. To her utter shock and amazement, the celebrity chef hired to cater her event is none other than the illustrious Gabriel.

Like Penny I had plenty questions as to what have caused Gabriel’s no show. Past hurts hold her back from being forthright, and a straight forward reconciliation is not on the menu (annoyingly). It is nice watching them get to know each other again, and building on something that had been so special to the both of them.

The Only One is a second chance romance where scintillation and red hot chemistry is the dish of the day.
