The Gingerbread Skirmish

A freak snowstorm puts the deep freeze on the delivery of a specialty gingerbread order. No delivery means no payment, and Kale McIntire won't make rent on her already-in-the-red coffee shop. She'll lose everything.

Abandoned in the middle of nowhere, the same snowstorm represents frostbite for Tanner Clayton. Instead of showing appreciation when Kaley rescues him during the blizzard, he fixates on getting home to his violets. Not understanding his plants are part of a NASA experiment, Kaley presumes he's gay, and Tanner doesn't correct her mistake.

That lie turns to a lump of coal when a visitor arrives, making the couple doubt everything.
