When Eliza Morgan reluctantly enters an online cooking contest, she expects disaster. Between her struggling veterinary clinic and caring for her father with dementia, she barely has time to microwave dinner, but the encouraging messages from a mysterious fellow contestant named “PhoenixChef” become an unexpected bright spot in her overwhelmed life.
Jack Harmon is quietly rebuilding his shattered life one community service hour at a time. The former acclaimed chef now spends his days tending community gardens and avoiding questions about his past. The last thing he needs is a connection that might expose the mistakes that brought him to his knees.
As Eliza finds herself drawn to both her online cooking mentor and the guarded handyman, she discovers parts of herself she thought were lost forever. But Jack is harboring secrets that could destroy their growing connection—in both worlds.
When the truth finally surfaces, can two wounded souls find a recipe for trust?
