There's just one problem. She's never run a kitchen, her secret writing career has stalled, and her first love just walked through the door and wants the head chef job. Okay, more than one problem.
Now, with a rival restaurant opening right down the road and a scathing food critic on the way, Lyndsay has one shot to prove that she's no longer a supporting character in someone else's story-and maybe find love at the same time.
Of course, nothing's easy, as Lyndsay soon finds out. But sometimes the second course is the one worth waiting for.
