Hearts broken by two family tragedies and with their own demons to face, Alistair and Samuel Beck face the demands of owning their father's restaurant at the young ages of 25 and 21. Their head chef Jacques is exacting, while the staff is surly and incompetent, and Sam himself cannot tolerate imperfection. Then along comes Li, a young, naïve runaway, running out of money and with a debt to repay, living out of her van and in denial. With dreams of becoming a top chef, she weasels her way into a non-paying position among the staff. Under Jacques' tutelage, she comes so close to her dreams she can almost taste them--until her past begins to catch up with her. Can Li outrun her past with the help of her friends and enter upon a new and forgiving life? Or will all of her dreams go up in flames? Can the Beck brothers find hope in the midst of chaos? Set in 80's in Washington, D.C., this sweet and funny romance will keep you guessing down to the last page.
