The Expendable Sous

Camille Mercier is more than a master of French cuisine; he’s a master of manipulation. Using his culinary prowess, he draws out his patrons’ deepest desires – until he crosses paths with ‘Crave,’ setting off a tumultuous clash with his talented sous chef, Timothee Emmeric.Power can be intoxicating, and for Camille, almost irreplaceable. Yet, how far will he descend to maintain it? In a dark world of blackmail, confinement, and unspeakable crimes, every choice Camille makes weaves him deeper into a web of his own narcissistic design. His hunger for recognition in the culinary world sets him on a collision course with Timothee, whose talent and ambition are equal to his own. As tensions rise, Camille must confront an age-old truth: sometimes, getting everything you wish for can be the most dangerous thing of all. Will he learn the value of humility, or will he lose himself entirely?

And to further quote the unique and dedicated author’s diligence: “I’m committed to giving all my creative works, my some!”
