Mackenzie's Very Merrry Christmas
(2025)(Book 34 in the Dickens Holiday Romance series)
A novel by Nancy Fraser
She had no intention of coming home again… until she met him.
Mackenzie Taylor grew up in Dickens, yet she left the town famous for celebrating the winter holidays behind to attend culinary school. Now she’s a rising star at one of New York's most upscale restaurants.
She's admittedly shocked when her boss introduces her to Asher Phillips, Michelin star chef, and reputed playboy. The reason behind the introduction is even more surprising.
Asher welcomes the recommendation from his friend and former mentor. He's looking for a reliable sous chef to help him navigate this new territory of small-town New England. Her kitchen skills, combined with her familiarity with Dickens, may be just what he needs to hit the ground running.
Provided, of course, she can abide by his first company rule. No fraternization. It isn't until he sees Mackenzie out of her chef's whites, and in a more relaxed atmosphere, that he realizes he may be the one unable to follow his own hands-off edict.
Can two ambitious culinary professionals match wits and talent without letting their unexpected relationship get in the way?
Genre: Romance
