Description

Ansel, a famous chef struggling with his identity, and Riley, a successful architect mourning her twin brother, enjoy a flirty, chance encounter on a rural highway. When she discovers they’re collaborating on a new restaurant in Cypress Creek, Texas, she begs him to hide their prior connection. She’s a hometown girl, and he’s a globe-trotting celebrity. Her Hill Country resort town might be going mainstream, but if she hooks up with her client, her behavior will be the hottest gossip in town. As Ansel and Riley push the restaurant toward completion, their relationship grows as complex as smoked brisket and sweet tea. When fate tests the town’s resolve, Ansel, Riley, and Cypress Creek’s residents must decide which matters most—their heritage or their dreams.
