Celia Montgomery was the golden girl of the culinary world, the youngest woman to ever earn a Michelin star. But in the age of viral videos, one explosive kitchen meltdown was all it took to turn her into a pariah. Blacklisted and broken, Celia retreats to the only place left: her childhood home in Bell County, Vermont. Her family's legendary produce empire is crumbling, and the only job in town is at The Hearth—a sophisticated bistro owned by Grady Sutton. He’s the man Celia left at the altar ten years ago with nothing but a post-it note and a trail of heartbreak. Working under her former flame is a recipe for disaster, but as the heat rises in the kitchen, Celia realizes her professional downfall might have been a calculated hit. Between missing ledgers and anonymous threats, someone is trying to drive the Montgomerys out of business. Now, Celia must cook the performance of her life to save her family’s legacy. But as secrets from the past simmer to the surface, she has to wonder: is redemption truly on the menu, or is she just playing with fire? Devon Thorne delivers a mouthwatering tale of second chances and small-town suspense that proves some recipes are worth perfecting.
