I don’t know if I like Jacob or Zafir more at this point 😭

Eve Brown has bounced around from job to job ever since her dream of becoming a singer didn’t work out. When her parents decide they have had enough, they cut off her trust fund payments until she can hold a job for a year. Eve ends up going for a drive and ends up at a B&B that just so happens to be looking for a new chef. Unfortunately the owner, Jacob Wayne, is not a fan of Eve’s on first meeting. 

When Jacob realizes Eve may be his only hope, he goes after her in the rain, only to be ran over by her car. Eve stays on to help after breaking his arm and giving him a concussion. Eve seems to find her calling as the head chef at this B&B. The two slowly begin to become friends and realize they completely mis-categorized the other.

This was all so chaotic but I loved every minute of it. Jacob is a gem!

Eve Brown’s guide to finding a man:
1. Randomly crash his job interviews
2. Accidentally run him over with your car
3. Take over his b&b and spare bedroom
4. Become friends
