A man who lost his future...

Macon Miles learned firsthand what it means to make sacrifices for his country. He was married to his high school sweetheart, had a promising future in the military, and happiness seemed so complete. Everything changed when routine patrols in Afghanistan turned into a nightmare. When the dust settles, Macon has lost his career, his wife and... his leg. Lost and alone, he finds his only solace in his newfound love for... cooking. When his brother Adam offers him a new home and a job at a friend's restaurant in Dallas, Miles knows it's an offer he can't refuse.

A woman searching for her past...

Following him to Dallas, she gets a job in the same place as Macon - at the same decadent Sean Taggart restaurant, Tops. She's sure Miles is hiding something about Ronnie's death, and will do whatever it takes to unravel the mystery.

When circumstances bring Macon and Ellie face to face, their chemistry is hotter than any dish in " Upper ones." But when Ellie's deception is exposed and the truth about Ronnie's death is revealed... will they be able to resurrect the love they lost?
