The Baking Challenge

Every holiday season, Rafael bakes. He gives most of his creations away to the people in his New York apartment building. But, for the first time ever, someone refuses to take his gifts of food. Carly, the new woman in the attic apartment, says no to everything he offers—and becomes his baking challenge.

A sweet romance filled with sugar and spice and just a hint of gingerbread.
