Thom Kennedy Leyton returns to San Francisco to take up the reins of Graze, one of the city's best restaurants, years after he lost his job when his innovative new set of recipes was stolen.

Now, cured of fifty excess pounds and any attraction to Blake, Thom's back in town. Blake catches him off guard when he visits Graze several days in a row, and Thom lets himself get caught up in Blake's allure, despite knowing better.

Thom juggles a renewed relationship with Blake, a Christmas visit from his parents, and an important holiday menu based on a Twelve Days of Christmas theme. When an old acquaintance reveals that Blake knows more about the theft of the recipes than he lets on, Thom doesn't know whom to trust. But the truth isn't quite that simple, and Thom won't be able to decide if Blake deserves a place in his life until he learns exactly what happened years ago.
