As the executive culinary assistant to celebrity Chicago chef Patrick Conlon, Alana Ostermann works behind the scenesâ€”and thatâ€™s just the way she likes it. But with developing recipes for Patrickâ€™s cookbooks, training his sous chefs, picking out the perfect birthday gifts for his ex-mother-in-law, and dealing with the fallout from his romantic escapades, she barely has a personal life, much less time to spend with her combo platter of a mutt, Dumpling., Then a fluke online connection brings her RJ, a transplant from Tennessee, who adds some Southern spice to her life. Suddenly Alanaâ€™s priorities shift, and Patrickâ€”and Dumplingâ€”find themselves facing a rival for her time and affection.
