Overview
She needed a second chance. He couldn’t survive another loss. What began as a pretend relationship became impossible to fake in a small town that remembers everything and forgives nothing.
Kerry Kind never expected to start over in her thirties. Reeling from a painful divorce and a very public fallout, she is desperate for a fresh start and a chance to reclaim her life. When she lands a homeschool teaching position in a tight-knit small town, it feels like the second chance she’s been fighting for. That relief quickly fades when she realizes her new boss is the same man she clashed with just days earlier.
Victor Grimes is a world-renowned chef, devoted single father, and widower who has rebuilt his life around structure, control, and emotional distance. Love is no longer part of the plan. But when his daughters need stability and Kerry proves to be exactly what they’ve been missing, Victor finds himself confronting feelings he’s spent years trying to suppress.
What begins as a reluctant partnership and a harmless fake dating arrangement meant to quiet gossip, soon blurs the line between professional and personal. Their chemistry is undeniable, and their connection deepens with every moment spent together.
As old wounds resurface and their worlds collide, Kerry and Victor must decide whether love is worth risking everything they have worked so hard to protect, or if some lessons are too painful to relearn.
