Food writer-turned-restaurateur Juliette D’Alisa has more than enough on her plate. While her trip to Provence might have unlocked new answers to her grandmother’s past, it’s also provided new complications in the form of Neil McLaren, the man she can’t give up. Juliette and Neil find romance simple as they travel through Provence and Tuscany together, but life back home presents a different set of challenges. Juliette has a restaurant to open, a mother combating serious illness, and a family legacy of secrets to untangle. How does Neil, living so far away in Memphis, fit into her life?

Family. Food. Love. Secrets. Recipes. It’s all here. Inside the pastry prep table that food writer Juliette D’Alisa inherits from her grandmother, she discovers an old photo of a man who looks too much like her brother Nico, a chef. As she discovers her grandmother’s past, Juliette strikes up a dating-service email correspondence with an immunologist. Is he her match? Or not?
