"I don't think you understand how badly I DON'T want to do this." Chance states, his dark brown eyes just disgorging boredom and uninterest. "I think I do, and I can most definitely say I feel the exact same way. But unless you want to fail your Senior Year, you know, the one that determines fundamentally everything you'll ever do," I may have told a little white lie with that, Senior Year isn't as important as I was making it out to be, but he won't listen to me! "Then be my guest. As a matter of fact, I'll join you!"

Willow Martin, being the extremely nubile girl she was, threw a complete bitch fit upon finding out she shared an assignment with Chance Black. This wouldn't be such an issue if the Chance that is being mentioned, actually came to school on a day to day basis, instead of coming 'when he feels like it.' While she almost gave up on life and humanity, her friends decided to turn it into a bet. "I bet you 50$ you won't get him to do this project with you. There's just no way, this kid doesn't even stay long enough for LUNCH, let alone 2 weeks."
Now, with that being said, she's 100% certain that under no circumstances will she fail this assignment, partially because it's worth over 60% of their overall grade, but ALSO, because she's completely fanatical about getting him to do this with her. But how will she manage if he wants absolutely nothing to do with her? Or anyone, for that matter?
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
