Redemption Cafe
A restaurant owner who can’t cook meets a chef who just happens to be a vampire. Can they each overcome their shameful past and find a recipe for redemption?
Doss Chambers always dreamed of owning a restaurant, but a car crash when he was seventeen put those plans on hold. He’s paid for his mistake, in legal terms, but the guilt he carries weighs heavily on his mind. Nevertheless, Doss is determined to fulfill his dream. He works hard at his family’s market to save whatever money he can and spends every spare minute learning the business of running a restaurant. If only he could cook…
Henri Courtan is the best pastry chef in Paris. Some say it’s an odd choice of profession for a vampire, but after years of self-imposed exile to atone for his violent past, Henri is finally happy to settle down and live his life in peace. When dark secrets come back to haunt him, however, he flees to New York. A progressive clan of vampires take him in, and Henri suddenly finds himself charge of feeding dozens of vampires accustomed to eating human food. He’s glad to be cooking again, keeping busy, until a man arrives with a delivery. When Henri opens the door, he quickly realizes that his man might offer much more than groceries.
Neither man is sure of the other’s feelings, until a shared culinary experience reveals a physical hunger that can no longer be ignored. The flames of passion are lit, but both men need to forgive themselves before they can share their hearts.

Take two men who each have a criminal past trying to build a future together, add the fact that one of them is a vampire, and it almost sounds like a recipe for disaster. I have to admit that the idea of a vampire with an interest in human food made me grin, and making him “the best pastry chef in Paris” only increased my amusement before I started reading this story. It turned out to be less humorous than I may have expected, but that did not reduce my enjoyment of watching Doss and Henri come together, deal with the obstacles in their way, and figure out how to make their relationship and their business work.
