He's the man she left behind, but never forgot...Laurel Moore might have had to leave her prized job as an assistant chef in one of NYC's swankiest restaurants to take care of her brother and mother after her father's death, but she's not giving up on her dream. Nope. She's going to turn her father's debt-ridden, greasy spoon bar and restaurant into a destination gastropub that will bring life back to her small, struggling town. Laurel faces resistance on all sides, but it's running into her first love, reformed bad boy Jonah Gardiner, that really throws her off her stride. Worse, he's more tempting than ever.Spurred on by Laurel's rejection a decade ago, Jonah cleaned up his act and became an academic and psychologist, who helps everyone understand their feelings except himself. He can think of a million reasons why he and Laurel need to stay at arms' length, but when she shares her new recipes with him, it seems like foreplay. And that's just the beginning…Can he and Laurel seize a second chance or will she destroy the peace he's worked so hard for?
