When burned-out city chef Claire Sutton inherits her grandmother's rustic farmhouse, she returns to the small town of Alder Creek seeking solitude—not second chances. But a gentle offer of fresh produce from James Adler, the town's steadfast and quietly charming farmer, stirs something in her that no recipe ever could.

James has watched the farmhouse sit quiet for years, waiting for someone to bring it back to life. He never expected Claire to be the one holding the ladle. And when the two join forces to host a farm-to-table pop-up, they discover that shared meals can spark more than just community connection.

But when a visiting food critic threatens to shatter the fragile trust they've built—and an old opportunity tempts Claire back to the city—both must face what truly feeds the heart.

Can they turn a one-time event into a lasting recipe for love? Or will the last course send them down separate paths once again?
