In Your Dreams
by Sarah Adams
Madison Walker left Rome, Kentucky, determined to make it in the culinary world. But after years of chasing success in New York, all she has to show for it is her shattered confidence and a desperate need for a fresh start. Coming home isn't part of the plan--until an unexpected job offer lands in her lap: the head chef position at a new farm-to-table restaurant in her hometown. The only catch? It comes from James Huxley, owner of Huxley Farm, her brother's best friend. James has always played it safe, keeping his head down and running the family business. But when Madison's happiness is on the line, he's willing to take up his estranged brother's offer to launch a restaurant. James has loved her quietly for years, knowing she's never seen him as more than an annoyance, but now that she's back, he's determined to change that. Madison and James are tasked with launching the dreamy restaurant in record time, but keeping things strictly professional soon becomes impossible, and the town can't help but meddle in their relationship. As opening night looms closer, Madison's fears threaten to hold her back. When an unexpected disaster collides with a long-simmering sibling feud, both Madison and James will have to face their biggest insecurities--and decide if love is worth the risk or if some dreams are safer left untouched.

Living in close quarters, navigating their rocky past, and working together day and night begins to crumble their prickly professional facades, revealing buried chemistry between them. They soon stumble across a hidden horticultural oasis planted by a pioneering Black inventor and must formulate a plan to protect the town from the corporate greed they didn't realize they played roles in. As they navigate obstacles and uncover hidden treasures, they rediscover old feelings and realize love might be the most valuable discovery of all.
