After one too many bad decisions, The Mae Flower has fallen entirely in Mae's lap. It's to teach her a lesson, according to her father. And worse? She has to manage it without a cook, bartenders, AND a crappy menu.
Dan is trapped in Kentucky with a broken car after trying to help his sister at his grandmother's request. It's by chance that he finds a flustered Mae Davenport of the need of a cook after she helps him find a mechanic for his car.
They're attracted to each other, and the sex is great, but… Mae doesn't want to be tied down, and Dan has no plans to stay in Kentucky.
