“Bouchard dishes up the sweetest second chance romance that will warm your heart to the end.”–Caitlin Moss, author of You First and Goodbye Again

After an affair with a client's husband leads to scandal, private chef Devon Paige is left with only one client in Boston—a reclusive professional basketball player with a craving for cookies. With no other choice, Devon lands on the doorstep of Rockwood, a boarding school on the New Hampshire seacoast, taking a job leading their dining services. She is shocked to soon discover Kyle Holling on staff, who she hasn't seen in over fifteen years since a memorable night just before departing for college in different cities. Devon and Kyle must determine what their relationship looks like years later, all while dodging the cameras of an underground newspaper, dealing with the installation of a controversial campus sculpture, and grappling with the arrival of Devon's former lover's daughter as a newly-enrolled student.

When Devon meets a handsome paramedic named Heath, she ditches the possibility of romance with Kyle in favor of what appears to be a more straightforward relationship. But a trip to Los Angeles to keep her client well-fed ahead of his basketball game threatens to upend everything, forcing Devon to finally answer the one question she has been avoiding: is fifteen years too late to rekindle a one-night stand?

Enjoyable easy listening.

I really enjoyed the storyline. It was definitely a RomCom and easy listening. My sister worked in the dining hall at a boarding school in NH so I could relate to many of the tales of pranks and high jinks. As a native New Hampshirite it is always difficult to hear the names of places in New England mispronounced! And a Boston accent is not the same as a New York accent. However once I got past those common issues it was definitely worth a listen.
