Bethany Davis has worked in some of the most exciting restaurants in New York City. She's from Quinn Valley, a small Idaho town, and she hasn't been home for more than a few days in years. Her mother is sick, and it's a blessing in a way that her restaurant just closed and she's out of job—because now she can take as much time as she needs to be with her mom. If she's going to stay though, she needs a job ASAP. But the only option available is at Quinn's Pub, owned by her first love, Ryder, and his sister Maggie. Ryder tried to put Bethany out of his mind completely when she left him so many years ago. He's desperate for a good chef, but she is the last person he'd choose. He doesn't trust that Bethany is back for good, and he's wary of getting too close and getting burned again. Everyone else thinks they belong together. Will the two of them ever realize it?
