Cady McBain knows her parents need a new chef for the Compass Rose’s restaurant, but Damon Hurst, celebrity chef become celebrity flameout? She wants no part of a good-looking charmer like him and isn’t shy about letting him know it.

Damon knows he screwed up but he’s trying to get his life back on track by turning the Compass Rose’s restaurant into a five-star restaurant. And if it takes sweet-talking Cady into growing microgreens and foraging for exotic foods to make that happen, he’ll do it.
