A cancer scare made Lauren Novak question everything. She quit her lucrative high-tech job in pursuit of following her passion. Now two years later, she's riding the waves of success as a portrait photographer to the rich and famous.

Joel Bennett gave up on love years ago. Instead, he's put his time and energy into the only thing that's ever mattered to him: cooking. As the owner of Tristan's, one of the most sought after restaurants in North America, his chef skills have given him a celebratory status. And a restaurant with bookings over six months in advance.

When Lauren signs on a new client in search of the perfect engagement portrait where only a backdrop of Tristan's will do, sparks fly as two highly successful people fight over what it takes to give their clients their all. The only question that remains: how explosive will it be?

Will their drive keep them apart? Or will it pave the way to something more?
