Secret Ingredient: Love

The handsome Alex Marchetti has come to Fran, a chef, with a proposal. He's the brother of a close friend and the son of a family that develops restaurant chains. He wants Fran to help him develop a line of frozen foods for his company. And as if that weren't big enough news, he tells her that they're being set up by Fran's friend, an inveterate romantic. Fran never had any dreams of getting married, but will working with Alex change her mind?
