An aspiring chef discovers the irresistible flavor of the Blue Ridge Mountains in this "sweet and sexy romance" by the USA Today bestselling author (Publishers Weekly).
Jilted by her boyfriend and haunted by a horrible boss, Bellamy Blake decides to leave the high-stress world of banking behind. Driving as far away from her old life as possible, she wonders if it's finally time to turn her taste of cooking into a life she loves. But even her escape plan sputters out when her transmission self-destructs on a rural route in the tiny town of Pine Mountain.
Now the city girl is stuck in the middle of a cell phone dead zone with nothing but her wits—until Shane Griffin comes along. Shane is definitely the hottest mechanic who's ever checked under Bellamy's hood. But this small-town guy isn't all he seems. As sparks fly, could their chance encounter have all the ingredients for a happily ever after?

Kincaid’s debut novel, which shares a setting with the anthology The Sugar Cookie Sweetheart Swap, features competent writing but a pedestrian story. Jilted “city girl” Bellamy Blake’s car breaks down en route to her weekend getaway in Pine Mountain, a little town in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Shane Griffin, a Mozart-loving mechanic with a dislike of city folk, is behind in loan payments, and fixing Bellamy’s car may stave off the sale of his beloved Mustang. Bellamy is a career-driven banker with a secret talent for cooking, and after her annoying boss tries to get her to work while she’s on vacation, she quits her job and uses her time in Pine Mountain to consider pursuing her foodie dreams. The big secret that Shane hides from Bellamy for most of the book casts a pall over their sweet and sexy romance, and makes him less sympathetic, and the plot less cohesive, once all is revealed. Agent: Maureen Walters, Curtis Brown Ltd.
