Restaurant manager Devon Johnson’s about to prove that karma isn’t always bad. Devon, manager of her family’s restaurant, went against her better judgment and did what her family wanted. She fired chef Jacob Arness. The only man she’s ever wanted. To make it realistic, Devon even told him that “white boys can’t cook soul food.” Now, she’s suddenly unemployed when her family fires her. However, she has to raise her son for the summer. Devon wants Jacob. She wants to take an active role in raising Clifton, their nine-year-old son. Yet, her internal struggle keeps her from going after what she desires. Jacob wants three things to complete his life--Devon, Devon to take an active role in Clifton’s life and revenge on Devon’s family for his firing. Now the most powerful and wealthy restaurateur in Cincinnati, he has the chance to achieve all his goals, but the latter may tank his life with Devon.
