Publisher: Bantam (February 2026) Formats: Hardcover and kindle


Synopsis: Ed is in trouble with the yakuza. He's gambled away all his money and his family is at risk.

But just as he’s about to lose everything, he receives an offer he can’t refuse.


A reclusive billionaire is looking for a private chef. The only she has some. . . unusual tastes.

As he prepares delicious dishes – fresh crab salad with a panko crumb, lamb shank dripping in red wine juice, sweet, fluffy soufflé pancakes – he realizes that each meal is a test, a challenge to satisfy an insatiable appetite.

Caught up in a world more sinister than he could ever have imagined, Ed finds himself entangled in another debt.

As the stakes grow, he must make a choice.
Will he stay hungry? Or will he be greedy?


Dinner is served.
Eat Up.
