Summary
Shelby Goodkind has always had a bit of a *thing* for Toni Shalifoe. It doesn't mean anything, because Toni's a fired-up, hot-headed, foul-mouthed TV chef that Shelby knows she’ll never actually meet and won't like at all in reality.
So imagine Shelby’s surprise when she’s selected to be a contestant on Toni's cooking show. Especially when, before the competition even heats up, Shelby discovers Toni Shalifoe might just have a *thing* for her too.
It’s a recipe for disaster.
Can they make it out of the kitchen before getting burned?

Summary
It’s 8 years after they’ve all graduated high school. Toni runs a corner store and someone from her past waltzes in, changing everything. There’s a kickball league and more fluff than angst. This is a bad summary.
Or
The one with the kickball league and corner store that has a happy ending.
