"Foodie influencer Kia Jackson is a few sheets of paperwork away from purchasing a plot of urban forest where she'll build her food truck utopia-Taste the Love Land. Kia has dreamt of creating a home for minority-owned food trucks and restaurateurs who have been run out of their brick-and-mortar businesses by gentrification. Just as she is about to secure the deal, corporate fast-food giant Mega Eats sweeps in and outbids her. The only way to stop the conglomerate? Call on a law that says any resident with ancestral history in the neighborhood has first rights to buy the property. Kia can take advantage of the clause...if she can find a legacy family member to marry immediately. The only legacy resident available turns out to be Alice Sullivan, Kia's culinary arts school rival and longtime muse. Sullivan is an eco-chef who loathes the idea of cutting down the green space to make room for a parking-lot full of food trucks-but she hates Mega Eats even more. Begrudgingly, Sullivan agrees to an on-paper marriage to Kia. But as the work to keep up the appearance of a real marriage brings back the delicious chemistry Kia and Sullivan have always had-in and out of the kitchen-the line between fake and real love starts to blur and they must figure out the perfect recipe for happily ever after"--
A delicious, heartwarming romantic comedy about big dreams, life-changing friendships, and the people who bring out your best.
Six years ago, eco-chef Alice Sullivan and her culinary-school rival almost gave into the burning tension between them. But those kisses? Just the heat of competition boiling over. Sullivan never expected to see Kia after graduation . . . until Kia crashes back into her life with a plan to buy Sullivans beloved Portland greenspace.
Kia has worked hard building her social media empire as the big-hearted glitter-bomb queen of the food-truck scene. Now shes one step away from opening a foodie utopia for underrepresented culinary talents. But Kias plans catch the attention of a bulldozer-happy food conglomerate, and now both Kia and Sullivans dreams are on the line. When a legal loophole turns out to be the only way to save what they each love most, theyre left with one option: pull off a very public fake marriage to obtain the deed to the land and keep their old rivalry under control.
As the line between fake and real love blurs, can Kia and Sullivan set aside their differences and find the perfect recipe for happily ever after?
