Luscious (Masters and Mercenaries: Topped Book 1)

A man who lost his future, Macon Miles knows all too well the sacrifices required for one's country. Married to his high school sweetheart, he once held a promising future in the military, with his life seemingly complete. However, a routine patrol in Afghanistan would transform into a nightmare, leaving Macon to grapple with the loss of his career, his wife, and his leg. Adrift and alone, Macon's only solace is found in his newfound passion for cooking.

When Macon's estranged brother, Adam, offers him a new home and the opportunity to work at a friend's restaurant in Dallas, it is an offer he cannot refuse, a chance to start anew. Meanwhile, Allyson Jones has made a deathbed promise to her foster mother – to uncover the truth behind the death of her foster brother, Ronnie, in Afghanistan. Unconvinced by the Army's reports, Ally is determined to hear Macon's account of what truly transpired.

Arriving in Dallas, Ally secures a job working alongside Macon at the decadent new restaurant, Top, owned by Sean Taggart. Her proximity to Macon allows her to closely observe him, convinced that he is hiding something about Ronnie's demise. Ally is willing to go to great lengths to unravel the mystery surrounding her foster brother's death.

As fate would have it, circumstances force Macon and Ally into closer quarters, igniting a simmering chemistry between them that rivals the heat of any dish served at Top. However, the truth about Ronnie's death is soon to be revealed, and when Ally's deception is exposed, the delicate balance they have struck may shatter.

Will Macon and Ally be able to overcome the obstacles that have been placed in their path and reclaim the love they have lost, or will the revelations about Ronnie's fate irreparably tear them apart? The answer lies in the unfolding of their journey, a tale of sacrifice, loss, and the courageous pursuit of redemption.
