The recipe for happiness: making it up as you go along.
Rising sous-chef Kelly Matlockâs sudden collapse at work is a wake-up call. Disillusioned and burned out, sheâs
retreated to her sister Jillianâs house in Virgin River to rest and reevaluate.
Puttering in Jillâs garden and cooking with her heirloom vegetables is wonderful, but Virgin River is a far cry
from San Francisco. Kellyâs starting to feel a little too unmotivated ⌠until she meets Lief Holbrook. The handsome
widower looks more like a lumberjack than a sophisticated screenwriterâa combination Kelly finds irresistible. But less
appealing is Liefâs rebellious stepdaughter, Courtney. Sheâs the reason they moved from L.A., but Courtneyâs finding
plenty of trouble even in Virgin River.
Kellyâs never fallen for a guy with such serious baggage, but some things are worth fighting for. Besides, a bratty
teenager canât be any worse than a histrionic chef ⌠right?
