Flooded Hearts

In Alaska’s wildest kitchen, a chef discovers that the best recipes can’t be found in any cookbook-especially when love is on the menu.When uptight chef Lucy Zhang flees her toxic ex (think Gordon Ramsay with worse anger issues) to Cooper Landing, Alaska, she has one goal: turn her small-town restaurant into a Michelin-starred sensation. Too bad she’s landed in a place where ’seasonal menu’ means whatever the moose didn’t eat, and fine dining is defined by using a tablecloth.Enter Deb Walker: beloved local farmer, walking ray of sunshine, and keeper of indigenous traditions, who believes any disaster can be fixed with Native wisdom and a community feast. While Lucy’s color-coding her spice rack, Deb’s busy sharing traditional harvesting practices and pretending her wife’s new city life isn’t breaking her heart.When a flash flood threatens their tiny town, these opposites are thrown together in a rescue that proves even the most carefully crafted plans can go sideways. Suddenly, Lucy-who doesn’t do chaos, nature, or feelings-finds herself knee-deep in all three. Between Deb’s persistent optimism and a town full of locals who think 'personal space' is just a suggestion, Lucy’s perfectly organized life is getting messier by the minute.Lucy must decide-stick to her five-star dreams, or risk it all on a chance at love that doesn’t come with a Yelp review. Deb faces her own challenge-while she’s busy showing Lucy that life can’t be scheduled, she needs to admit that some seasons of love are meant to end so new ones can begin.Author’s Note: Explore the heartwarming tale of small town holiday romance with strong females who find a second chance at love in this opposites-attract, fast-paced love story in Wilderness Rescue: Flooded Hearts.
