The Mechanic Gets His Girl

The chef cooks up something hot with a local soldier but when they turn up the heat, they're bound to get burned.

After getting harassed, fired, evicted, and left at the altar, chef and photographer, Wendy, needs a clean break from the pain of Colorado. There are too many memories of her mom, and a new start is just what she needs. But when she rolls into Crimson Creek, Texas, to visit her friend her car breaks down, making Wendy want to throw in the apron in defeat.  

Home for a two-week, mid-deployment break, Jake jumps right back into his old life. With a hovering mom, a crazy ex who claims he's a dad, and an auto-mechanic shop to run, saving a drenched girl on a rainy highway is just part of his need to regain normalcy. 

Something hot is cooking between the new chef in town and this soldier. Between the drama with his ex, his mom, her new job managing the Bed and Breakfast, and the emotions of a deployment, there's a lot of ingredients threatening their budding relationship. Only time will tell if they can cook up something delicious that lasts.
