Hot Mess


Overview

Allie Simon never saw herself falling for a recovering drug addict-but that was before she crossed social media paths with bad-boy Benji Zane, Chicago's hottest up-and-coming chef. Benji, who's known as much for his hard partying past as for his unparalleled culinary skills, and Allie's chemistry is out of this world-along with everything he cooks for her-but the reality of dating a top chef hasn't exactly been all sunshine and soufflés. Still, Allie's convinced that unwavering love is the key to sweetening this man's soul-so when Benji is offered Chef de Cuisine at a new restaurant opening on Randolph Street (Chicago's foodie hot spot), Allie agrees to put her money where her mouth is. She invests her life savings in her man's new restaurant. But with not much time until opening day, Allie learns a heartbreaking lesson as Benji cracks under the pressure, relapses, and disappears. Left with no choice, Allie joins forces with the other women set to open the restaurant and finds herself thrust into a world of luxury and greed, cutthroat business and sensory delight, and above all-fierce female friendships.
