Mia Whitmore escaped the high-stakes pressure of New York’s culinary scene to start fresh in Haywood Lake. Her catering business, Plated Perfection, is finally coming to life.

Because this time, he’s not just guarding a client. He’s fighting for a second chance—at purpose, at peace, and maybe… at love.
