Between years of juggling multiple jobs and, more recently, her very own bunny colony, Chloe Garland is exhausted and, despite her best efforts, no closer to her goal of opening a gourmet, Southern cuisine restaurant. So when she lands an opportunity to work as a personal chef for a high profile client, Chloe eagerly signs the dotted lines of a lengthy NDA without reading the fine print, confident this will be her big break—until she learns that her new boss is not only her major Hollywood crush, but he’s been keeping a secret from the world that she’ll officially be responsible for. Roman Rivers has portrayed adventurous characters for years, but the role of pseudo-dad to a feisty little girl—now teen—was one he never saw coming, especially at the height of his career. Though he’s managed to keep her out of the limelight, it’s come at a cost, which is why he decides to bring a woman into their world, hoping she’ll be a positive influence on the girl he’ll do anything for. But Roman never expected that woman to challenge everything he thought he knew about parenthood or to stir up a longing for a life more enticing than he’d ever imagined. Cookin' up something sweet has never been this delicious... But they didn’t prep for romance on the menu.

Sometimes coming home means homemade pfannkuchen, matchmaking, and one very judgmental moose. Jo Turns out, living someone else’s dream isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Shocking, right? After six years chasing her mother’s dream of country music stardom in Nashville, Jolene Pearson has called it quits—and come crawling back to Moose Lick, Alaska. Now she’s wondering what her dream is. Could it be as simple as settling down with her best friend’s handsome brother and singing on the church worship team? According to her mother, that dream’s not nearly big enough. . . Noah Noah Gromotka has it pretty good. His food ministry is thriving, his soccer game is solid, and he makes a mean German pancake. All he’s missing is someone to share breakfast with. He did not expect that someone to be his sister’s best friend—the same girl who once got caught stealing her Mamaw’s pie and blaming it on a squirrel. But Jo’s all grown up, and baking pies of her own. Pies Noah’s mama deems “man-catching”. . . whatever that means. Between an overly dramatic moose, Jo’s spotlight-hungry mother, and Noah’s matchmaking mama determined for grandbabies, it turns out a small-town romance is anything but simple.
