Publisher's Synopsis
Delight in the most delicious Christmas story of the season with this charming holiday romance, perfect for fans of Nancy Naigle, Rachel Hanna, and Debbie Macomber.
Nothing can stop Lucy Carter from chasing her dreams until her boyfriend drops the bomb and tells her he's leaving her for someone else. Complicating things, she gets a phone call from her ailing grandmother, asking her to return to the small town of Star Creek to help out with her beloved bakery. In the name of family loyalty, Lucy is forced to leave her aspirations behind.
Putting her turmoil aside, she's ready to help, but is she up for the task?
The bakery competes in the Christmas bake-off every year at the annual Christmas festival. Lucy doesn't know a thing about crafting the perfect dessert, and the festival is in less than a month. She also might have learned a little faster if the bakery's newest employee and expert baker, handsome Will Westerly, hadn't been so tough to deal with.

Get ready for a magical Christmas journey that will have you tasting the sweetness of the sugar bowl and craving the warmth of peppermint cocoa. If you're in the mood for a heartwarming, small-town romance, this is the perfect read for you!
