Summary:
A sassy, saucy story about a feud-fueled romance where two rivals with a passion for food and community come together in ways they never expected.
Simone Blake and Finn Rimes are as different as it gets. Simone has just returned from a corporate stint in Chicago where everything went sideways. She’s inherited her grandfather’s barbecue restaurant, Honey and Hickory. Determined to make a go of it and prove that she’s a competent professional who knows what’s what, Simone plans to put her restaurant and her hometown on the map.
So does Finn Rimes. Only from a different angle. A chef thinking big, Finn dreams of opening his own culinary school.
Sparks soon fly like fireworks on the Fourth of July when Finn shows up on Sim’s turf – the local farmer’s market – to market his own brand of barbecue sauce and hopefully raise some cash for his would-be culinary school.
