"Some rules are meant to be broken... and some temptations are impossible to resist."

ELA: I've scrubbed floors and scoured pans to earn this chance at becoming a pastry chef on the luxurious Celestial Odyssey. One wild night with a mysterious older stranger was supposed to calm my nerves before starting my new job. Instead, it may have ruined everything. Because my new boss? He's the commanding chef who rocked my world last night.

PHILIP: My kitchen is my kingdom, and I rule it with exacting standards and an iron fist. But when my new pastry chef trainee walks in wearing a crisp uniform and that same intoxicating vanilla scent that haunted my sheets this morning, maintaining professional boundaries becomes impossible. She's young, talented, and absolutely off limits - yet I can't stop my traitorous mind from whispering: Mine.

The heat in the kitchen isn't just from the ovens, but a relationship between us is strictly forbidden. She's my subordinate, I'm her superior, and crossing that line could end both our careers. When every shared glance feels like foreplay and every taste test becomes torture, how long can we resist taking a bite of the forbidden fruit?
