Publisher's Synopsis
After a career scandal rocks her world, Claire, a gifted American chef, leaves New York behind to find solace in Paris, where her late grandmother once lived. Struggling with grief and regret, Claire takes refuge in the magical city that has always symbolized warmth and possibility.
While exploring the cobbled streets, she stumbles upon Le Petit Noël, a small café struggling to stay afloat. The café's owner, Luc, a reserved chocolatier with a passion for preserving family traditions, is determined to restore the café to its former glory. When Claire offers her culinary expertise to help revamp the café's menu for the Christmas season, their partnership blooms into something more than either of them expected.
As Claire and Luc spend their days crafting a new menu full of love and creativity, the holiday spirit wraps around them like the streets of Paris itself. From the sparkling lights of Montmartre to cozy dinners by the Seine, their journey is one of healing, rediscovery, and a rekindled belief in love. But when Claire's past resurfaces in the form of a rival chef, she must decide whether she's ready to leave behind the pain of her former life and embrace a new future filled with both chocolate and romance.
Will Claire and Luc find happiness under the mistletoe, or will their fears keep them from the love they both deserve? A Café Christmas in Paris is a heartwarming tale of second chances, festive romance, and the power of following your heart-no matter where it takes you.
