Never underestimate the power of gourmet chocolate…
Pastry chef Kayla Hunter spent her childhood in The Candy Manor, a charming Victorian mansion that housed her grandparents’ chocolate business. After moving to the city to make her culinary mark, Kayla returns home to help with Hollybrook’s Christmas Eve Spectacular. But everything has changed. Her grandparents are retiring and selling their business and home, and this year they’ve left her in charge of holiday preparations with Hollybrook’s distractingly-handsome new lawyer.
Attorney Dominick Rowe left the hustle of the city and never looked back. Growing up with workaholic parents, he longed for the slow pace of a small town like Hollybrook. He’s happy to step up when his favorite clients ask him to work their beloved Christmas event. He’s less comfortable with Operation Mistletoe—their covert attempt to remind their granddaughter of how much she loves The Candy Manor and persuade her to move home. But when he meets Kayla and falls hard, his loyalties become divided.
Will their opposing hearts melt with holiday magic, or have Kayla's grandparents stirred up too much trouble?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
James (Dangerous Water) proves opposites attract in this sweet Christmas romance between a big-city pastry chef and an easy-going small-town lawyer. Kayla Hunter returns to her hometown to help her grandparents' chocolate shop, Candy Manor, prepare for the town-wide Christmas Eve festivities. When they tell her of their plans to sell the business after the holiday season, Kayla is disappointed but agrees to oversee Candy Manor while they take a quick trip to Florida to scope out a retirement community. She begrudgingly accepts the help of Dominick Rowe, the lawyer aiding in the sale of her grandparents' property. Though things between them start off sour, they each develop a sweet tooth for the other while working together to decorate the manor and cook up holiday treats for the Christmas Eve event. Differing life plans and miscommunication threaten to keep the couple apart, but the allure of the holiday season and a series of close romantic encounters prove difficult to resist. James draws on the joy of family togetherness and the appeal of love during the holidays to craft a heartwarming love story that's sure to fill readers with Christmas cheer.
