A Recipe Called Home

Some cravings never fade—in the kitchen or the heart

Jules Cuccia has the perfect recipe for success: one part ambition, two parts control, and no distractions. But when her grandmother’s accident calls her back to Riverbend, her carefully measured life starts to crumble. The only thing keeping her grounded is a long-forgotten passion: cooking.

Miles Hoffman, her first love and the boy who “ghosted” her on prom night, is back in town. He’s leading the marching band and living a steady life with the same quiet charm that once made her heart race. The more time they spend together, the more Jules finds herself falling back in love—with cooking…and maybe Miles, too.

With a coveted promotion on the line and her soul satisfied for the first time in years, Jules discovers that some dreams take time to rise, and the sweetest recipes are the ones you make for yourself.

This second chance, small town romance features an independent, career-driven woman and the man who’s loved her since high school. Perfectly seasoned with medium spice and an opinionated Italian grandma who loves to cook, Jules and Miles will get their HEA but only after working through the tough choices they had to make as teens.
