Celebrated author Cheris Hodges pens romantic tales that hit all the right notes. In Recipe for Desire, Marie Charles' party-girl days come to a screeching halt with a DWI arrest and a totaled Jaguar. Sentenced to 500 hours of community service at a local women's shelter, her only bright spot is a fellow volunteer, TV star Devon Harris. But Devon wants nothing to do with Marie and her selfish ways-until her work at the shelter has her turning over a new leaf.

"I won an advance copy of this book and it was off the chain. Devon & Marie's relationship jumped off the pages during the initial meeting and it was a roller coaster ride to the end. Job well done Ms. Hodges"
