When Carina's beloved food blog gets picked up by a major TV network, her life explodes into something she never quite imagined—but her heart remains firmly locked away behind the walls of past heartbreak. Enter Ryan West, the charming British producer whose job is to help Carina shine on camera, and who seems determined to make her smile despite her best efforts to resist him. As the chemistry between them sizzles both on and off set, Carina finds herself caught between the safe comfort of her carefully guarded heart and the terrifying possibility that maybe, just maybe, she's ready to take a chance on love again. This is a deliciously warm second-chance-at-romance story that celebrates family, ambition, and the courage it takes to let someone in.
