Distracted and distraught, Lucy struggles to embrace the contest, but as she gets back on her feet, she's slowly charmed by the attention of the handsome, famous chef. The two of them grow close, but being together would end Quinn's TV career and doom her family restaurant. Can she wait until the show is over, or will she give in to the heat of Quinn's kitchen?

TRIGGER WARNING- this story contains abuse and talks of abuse and other mature themes. Please do not read if it bothers you! *** Patch McAlister is a quirky, calm young chef who randomly applied for a job at a lodge in remote Alaska. He doesn't much, but he has a personality that leaves everyone shocked when he opens his mouth. After his boss wakes up with him in his bed one random morning, their personal lives become even more intertwined. Devin Ridgeway owned and operated the Ridgeway Lodge with his sister and mother, and he rarely got involved with anyone other than his family. He'd gotten close with Patch, wondering how in the world the man was able to function without talking to people. As their busy summer season picks up, Devin begins to unravel the secrets Patch has kept close to his heart. He sees different sides of the chef that he never imagined he'd see and has to intervene on several occasions despite really only having a friends with benefit relationship on top of their working one. But Patch's past threatens to mess with everyone at the lodge, and Devin can't have that. His family rallies around their employee as they try to help him through everything. Devin realizes how deep his feelings actually go, and he's willing to risk it all for the chef who randomly showed up in his life. ****All credit to the National Park Service for the photo of Lake Clark****
