Diana Castillo just wants to get some stability back in her life. Newly single with two pre-teen daughters, one of whom is recently diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, the knocks have come hard and fast. When she's offered a summer in the Hamptons for her and her girls to recoup, Diana jumps at the chance. What she isn't expecting is a summer fling-especially not with the hot local chef who manages to get under her skin. She's newly divorced and has no room for anyone but her girls.
Michael Haynes is one year into the dad role after adopting his estranged biological daughter, and it's upended his career and life in unexpected and wonderful ways. Except it's stymied him in the kitchen, and his new restaurant venture of farm-to-table delicacies with his cousin has stalled out. He's professionally and creatively constipated. But when his daughter befriends two sweet and rambunctious girls, he meets their mother: a woman with a tough exterior that has him defensive and questioning all of his parenting choices. That friction turns into something more as Diana and her girls become his inspiration for new recipes that have his motivation sputtering back to life. The problem is that it's got his heart resurrecting, too.
Michael and Diana's passion has the kitchen heating up, but life has a way of reminding them this fling has an expiration date. They'll have to decide if a summer together is all they want or if only a taste is not enough.
