A marriage of convenience is must-see reality TV in this sexy stand-alone baseball romance!

Chef Ashley Harris dreams of owning a restaurant—that's why she attended culinary school, and that's why she tolerates working for the world's most lecherous restaurateur.

Rockets' third baseman Josh Cantor has his own restaurant dream: launching an investment eatery with the family favorites he loved growing up. His grandmother is on board with sharing her recipes—but only if Josh starts dating again, back in the saddle after a traumatic divorce.

When a cooking reality show comes to Raleigh, Ashley and Josh compete against each other to achieve their dreams. Before long, the flames in the bedroom roar higher than the ones in their kitchens. In the end, only one cook can win the competition. Will their relationship survive this trial by fire?
