Summary
Stiles is the engine that runs Doughboy, the chaotic little bakery he built from his late mother’s treasured recipes, but the stress of keeping her memory alive, 16-hour days, 6 days a week, has started to take its toll. To make matters worse, when the town's Chamber of Commerce pressures him into a cooking competition for their latest viral marketing stunt, he’s partnered with the last person he’d ever choose. Derek Hale, the world-traveled trust-fund baby and brooding Gordan Ramsey wannabe.
Derek, a professional chef who's still struggling with the recent passing of his sister, is the last living Hale to uphold a world-class culinary legacy. While returning to Beacon Hills, his childhood hometown, he opens his flagship restaurant, Hales, as an honor to the memory of his late family. But now he's stuck with Stiles Stilinski, the hot mess from the Doughboy bakery, who's stuck in the past and refuses to join the present, as a partner in a viral cooking competition that could make or break his new restaurant's success.
Sparks fly as flour meets foie gras, and their rivalry in the culinary scene threatens to ignite into something far messier, and far more irresistible, than either expected.
