Synopsis

Madison Walker left Rome, Kentucky, to make a name for herself as a chef. Years in New York have left her with little except battered confidence and a need to start over. Going home was never the plan, but then a job offer arrives: head chef at a new farm-to-table restaurant in her hometown.

The offer comes from James Huxley, who owns Huxley Farm and is her brother's best friend. James has spent his life keeping his head down and running the family business.

He has also loved Madison quietly for years, aware that she has only ever seen him as an annoyance. He takes up an offer from his estranged brother to start the restaurant, and with Madison back in town, he means to change her mind about him.

The two have very little time to get the restaurant open. Staying strictly professional proves impossible, and the neighbors cannot resist getting involved in their business.

This small-town romance between old family friends has a warm, humorous tone and a lot of community meddling. As opening night nears, Madison's fears pull at her, and a disaster lands on top of the feud between James and his brother. Both must face their deepest insecurities and decide whether love is worth the risk.
