Paige Jackson has a menu for success: locally sourced ingredients, sustainable living, and absolutely zero involvement in politics. As the owner of Taste and See Catering, she’s fighting to keep her business ethical in a city of shortcuts. When she lands a career-defining contract for a high-profile fundraiser, she thinks it’s the answer to her prayers - until she meets the senator’s aide.

Jackson Trent lives and breathes the political game. He believes in changing the system from the inside and has no patience for those who sit on the sidelines. When he’s forced to coordinate with a caterer who doesn't even vote, he expects a disaster. Instead, he finds a woman whose passion challenges his cynicism and whose cooking disarms his defenses.

Their attraction is as undeniable as their differences, but a looming scandal threatens to turn their brewing romance into collateral damage. Paige must decide if she can trust a man entrenched in a world she despises, or if sticking to her principles means walking away from love.
