Dark Chocolate & Denial | MM Sweet Romance | Boss x Intern | Tender Heartfelt Emotional | Slow Burn

Grumpy x Sunshine | MM Chef Romance with Chocolate, Chaos & Heart in Paris | Gay Workplace Romance

A brooding chocolatier. A chaotic intern. One kitchen. Zero chill.

Pierre Lambert runs his Parisian chocolate boutique like his life—orderly, quiet, and under control. Feelings? Messy. Unnecessary. Definitely off the menu. Enter Julien Moreau. Sunshine incarnate with a talent for flavour and a knack for accidental disasters. He’s loud. He’s persistent. And he’s slowly unraveling every one of Pierre’s carefully constructed walls. But behind the sugar and sarcasm lies something deeper—shared silences, late-night experiments, and a slow-burn connection neither of them expected. When one impulsive kiss threatens everything, Pierre must choose between the safety of solitude… and the terrifying sweetness of something real.
