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.

Starting With You
Romance trope: best friends to lovers. "You're supposed to be my best friend, but all I can think about is kissing you again." TEDDY: I somehow got stuck in the unfortunate "one of the guys" category. It was on accident, naturally falling into this role since my childhood best friend was a boy. The crush on my best friend was also an accident. He's always seen me as one of the guys. That is, until the one drunken night he didn't. The one that nearly ruined everything a decade ago. JENSEN: It was much easier when I didn't notice how hot my best friend is. It would be even better if the rest of the jackoffs in our small town would stop noticing too. I can still remember all the details from our night together years ago. The night we never talk about, yet it's still so fresh in my mind. But will a secret scar from a past relationship ruin everything? [This is BOOK ONE of the WITH YOU series, a small town romance series set in Minnesota about the lives of the dysfunctional, blended Anderson family - with an interwoven mystery built into the background that spans the entirety of the series.] **Title formerly The Rest of Forever**Complete
