Personal Chef Lucy Carpenter has moved to Red Duck, Idaho for a fresh start. Newly single, Lucy is determined to carve out a life for herself and her two sons by cooking for the elite clientele who frequent the nearby resorts. But fitting into this small town is harder than it looks, and Lucy soon discovers she needs somebody with the connections to help her. The trouble is, the one man who can turn things around for her, is the one man she should steer clear of. And while she's coming up with must-do lists, straightening out her troubled teenaged son is vying for the number one spot.
Ex-Major League baseball player, Drew Tolman, has left his career behind him in tatters and has taken shelter in Red Duck, too. With rumors and scandal still dogging him, the term "role model," doesn't leap to mind. More good-looking than any man has a right to be, he's the local celebrity and town heartthrob. As he fights to undo the wreckage of his past with a daughter he's never had a relationship with, his attraction to Lucy heats up like something steamy and delectable form her kitchen.
But can Lucy cook up real happiness with Drew without losing her hard won independence? More importantly, is she willing to risk her heart to find it?
