Stir two hearts…and let simmer 

Private investigator Carson Ford specializes in finding people. Yet his latest case has him stumped—he's looking for a mystery woman who's supposed to be his wealthy, widowed father's "second great love." But the pragmatic single dad knows that's not how love works! This is an elaborate swindle…and it starts with the fortune-teller's daughter. 

All chef Olivia Mack can do is confirm that her late mother's predictions were usually true. What she won't admit is that she might know who the mystery woman is—or that she's finding herself falling for the handsome, cynical Carson, not to mention his adorable son. She has always limited her "family gift" to her cooking. Now she just has to hope that her magic secret ingredient will lead to love…
