Leela has absolutely no patience for being underestimated. After being fired from a prestigious Toronto restaurant, Leela impulsively buys a crumbling former church in rural Ireland and decides to transform it into the Indian restaurant she has always dreamed of opening. But beneath her confidence and ambition is someone who just wants to find a place where she belongs. She is determined to build something entirely her own, even if it means winning over an entire town, a hostile (and unfortunately extremely handsome) lawyer.

Cillian the brilliant, brooding local solicitor with an immaculate reputation has a deep-rooted sense of duty, and very little tolerance for chaos... which makes Leela Rai his personal nightmare.

Cillian has spent years protecting his family, his community, and the traditions of Ballymourne, even when they ask more of him than he can give. He sees Leela's plans for the old church as reckless, but beneath the controlled exterior is a man who has quietly sacrificed his own happiness for everyone else. As Leela challenges everything he believes he is protecting, Cillian is forced to confront whether preserving the past is the same as having a future.
