He may have broken her heart, but Kari is a survivor. Kari leaves in a hurry. She has no idea where she is going—she just knows it has to be far away from Eddie. When an advertisement for the Kentucky Derby pops up on her Google search, something about the area intrigues her. Tired from her long journey leading her to Lexington, an exhausted Kari stops in Bourbonville for just an overnight stay. But after a burger and a slice of pie at Sadie's, a diner with décor reminiscent of the 50s, Kari makes a split-second decision to stick around. She settles into her new town becoming one of Bourbonville's newest entrepreneurs featuring her exemplary culinary skills. Jeff has never been quite so bold before. But a little voice in his head tells him to speak to her. He doesn't know for sure, but his military training leads him to believe she's running from something. He's running from something, too. It's not long before Kari realizes the Derby isn't the only race in town with high stakes and her bet is on Jefferson Davies, the owner/operator of Jeff's Marketplace. Can these two come together and mend their broken hearts while restoring their faith in love, or will it become a recipe for disaster? A steamy contemporary romance.
