Theo is the assistant sommelier at the only Michelin-starred restaurant in Palm Springs. Kit is a chef pâtissier at a luxury hotel in Paris. But before that, they were lifelong best friends turned lovers who planned to spend the rest of their lives together, pursuing their shared love of food and drink. They booked the European food and wine tour of their dreams, boarded their transatlantic flight, and broke up before they even reached their first destination. That was four years ago, and they haven’t spoken since—until they both unknowingly book a solo do-over ticket on the same tour and find themselves trapped on a bus with each other for three weeks through the most beautiful sights and flavors of France, Spain, and Italy. They can handle it, though. Four years is a long time. They can peacefully coexist. In fact, you know what would alleviate some of the tension? A friendly competition to see who can bed the highest number of sexy locals along the way. Surely this won’t complicate anything or stir up any lingering feelings between Theo and Kit. Everything is delicious, and everything is fine.
