The Green and the Red

Lea is the idealistic owner and chef of La Dame Verte, a vegetarian restaurant struggling in a small French town in Brittany. Mathieu is the carnivorous marketing director of the town's biggest pork producer, which is trying to put Lea out of business to take over the restaurant's prime real estate.

When Lea and Mathieu first cross paths, it is under false pretenses—Mathieu is posing as a vegetarian, infiltrating the local animal rights community for information that will force Lea's restaurant toward a swifter demise. And while Lea suspects that Mathieu isn't all that he appears to be, she has no idea how deep his culinary deception goes. Neither of them can deny the attraction they feel for each other, and it seems as though they might be setting a table for two ... until Lea learns the truth.
