After losing her parents in high school, Ryan Landry grew up fast, solely focusing on supporting her younger twin sisters. With the twins now preparing for college, the financial stakes are raised so Ryan enters a restaurant-manager-of-the-year contest. Her chances for the grand prize are strong-after all, she's the executive manager of Everheart Bar and Fine Dining, which is as famous for its exemplary service as it is for its mouth-watering food. The only thing standing in her way? The restaurant's Michelin star patriarch chef. Ryan meets his near-impossible challenges, except this creates another obstacle-increased temptation with her best friend and pastry chef Weston Everheart. She's fought to keep Weston in the friend zone: romantic fraternization means immediate firing, and she needs her job and the prize money more than ever. But when she realizes Weston has also been in love with her for years, it becomes impossible to maintain business as usual. Will Ryan play it safe or finally listen to her heart?
