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?

“I am no longer a neophyte but a novice extraordinaire!” This is a direct quote from Evelyn Johnson, the debut author of The Expendable Sous, who is a New Jersey native on a mission to give readers crisp and potent reads that will delight their senses. And to further quote the unique and dedicated author’s diligence: “I’m committed to giving all my creative works, my some!”
