Camille Boudreaux has had it with being a culinary princess. When her celebrity chef father dies and leaves her his failing five-star restaurant, she does what any sane woman would do—buys a food truck and runs away to join the Louisiana parish fair circuit under a fake name.

Turns out, flipping pancakes for carnival crowds beats the pressure of upholding a James Beard legacy any day. Cami's finally free to be nobody special—just the girl with the killer coffee and the best breakfast biscuits this side of the Mississippi.

Then Jude Sullivan parks his dessert truck across from hers, and suddenly Cami's peaceful exile gets a lot more complicated. He's got great hair, incredible hands, and makes beignets that could seduce a saint. When they start having coffee every morning and stealing kisses under the fireworks, Cami realizes she's in serious trouble.

But Jude's got his own secrets, and when a nosy food critic threatens to expose them both, Cami has to choose: go home to save the family restaurant or stay and fight for the first man who's ever seen her as more than her father's daughter.

Good thing the best recipes call for a little risk, a lot of heart, and the courage to trust that love is worth burning dinner for.

A sweet romance about second chances, secret identities, and discovering that there's never a perfect recipe for life.
