Leedy Collins is a restaurant manager who has a dream of one day opening her own restaurant. The only thing missing is the bank loan. Terry Foster, a handsome loan officer, is the most exciting man Leedy has ever met. They both feel the electricity upon their first meeting, but when he declines her loan application - sparks fly.

When Leedy decides to enroll in his business management class, they are both in for the ride of their life. Leedy is looking for help in pursuing her lifelong dream of owning a restaurant, but she may end up with much more than she bargained for.
