Sommaire:
Delight in the most delicious Christmas story of the season with this charming holiday romance, perfect for fans of Susan Mallery, Rachel Hanna, and Debbie Macomber. Nothing can stop Lucy Carter from pursuing her dream career-not even the breakup she absolutely did not have on her calendar. And just when she's ready to stage a one-woman pity party, her grandmother calls with news that sends everything sideways: she needs Lucy at the bakery... during the busiest season of the year. Lucy is many things-determined, resourceful, excellent at ordering pastries-but a baker? Not so much. Still, for her grandmother, she'll whisk, fold, and sugar-dust her way through anything. Probably. Enter Will Westerly, the bakery's annoyingly gifted, infuriatingly handsome new hire who treats recipes like sacred texts and seems personally offended by Lucy's creative approach to measuring cups. He's the last person she wants as a mentor-and the first person she notices every single time he smiles. With the annual Christmas bake-off looming and her confidence hanging by a thread of royal icing, Lucy has to figure out not just how to make a winning dessert, but what she's really craving in life. And as flour plumes, sparks spark, and cupcakes rise, one thing becomes deliciously clear: Healing a broken heart is messy. 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 romance, this is the perfect read for you!...
