______________________ 
 
Sam set out to spend the summer resurrecting her career as a chef but instead, has to chaperone her half-brother to a robotics competition at the local library. 
 
And naturally, because the universe hates her, the library's interim director, Ben, turns out to be the Hot Reader Guy whose book she accidentally destroyed on the ferry to the island. 
 
Sam doesn't do reading. Ben doesn't do romantic relationships. 
 
But when Ben inspires Sam to create the cookbook she's always dreamed about, they discover there might be more than just a creative spark between them. 
 
Will this summer be a recipe for disaster... Or love?
