Frank Slyce has spent his whole life feeling… undercooked.

Raised in the tiny Southern town of Juniper, South Carolina, Frank escapes to culinary school in Rhode Island determined to reinvent himself—chef, romantic, and maybe even heartthrob. He’s hungry for love, passion, and a life bigger than anything Juniper ever offered.

What he finds instead? Complicated men.

A sizzling fling with a charming classmate who earns his living entertaining wealthy clients online teaches Frank one important lesson: chemistry is easy… commitment isn’t.

So Frank heads home with a new dream—opening his own pizza joint and finally building something that lasts.

But finding the man proves harder than perfecting pizza dough.

There’s the handsome new Unitarian minister whose spiritual guidance quickly turns physical… until emotional baggage threatens to derail them both.

And then there’s Nicholas—never “Nick”—a sophisticated, silver-templed banker whose quiet confidence stops Frank cold the moment he walks into the loan office. Older. Guarded. Recently wounded. Exactly the kind of man Frank can’t resist.

Frank may look like he’s sampling the menu of eligible bachelors, but his mission has always been sincere: find real love.
Because how do you know someone’s the right man…

unless you take a bite?
