Welcome back to Cosy Cove, where home is where the heart—and the perfect recipe—belongs!

When food stylist Gemma Thompson returns to her childhood home to help run the Cosy Cove Cafe with her mother, Maggie, the last thing she expects is to fall into a fake relationship with her childhood friend, Logan Harris. It’s meant to stop her mum's matchmaking attempts, but what starts as pretend soon begins to feel surprisingly real.

Enter Matthew Wright, a charismatic chef who recognises Gemma’s talent and offers her everything she thought she wanted: culinary adventure, creative freedom, and a chance to leave Cosy Cove behind again. As Gemma finds herself torn between Matthew’s exciting world and Logan’s steady heart, she must decide what really matters; career success or the true recipe for happiness.

Can Logan find the courage to confess his lifelong feelings before it’s too late? Will Gemma choose ambition over love, or discover that some dreams taste sweeter when shared?

In this heartwarming tale of fake dates turning into real feelings, return to Cosy Cove where love is always on the menu and second chances are served with a side of hope.
