Mint Condition

(2026)
A Story by

 
 
Nora has one Christmas rule: peppermint does not belong in dessert. Unfortunately, the annoyingly calm chocolatier across the alley has built half his reputation on it.

Honey & Rye is all brown butter, gingerbread, honey, and warm holiday flavors. Cole’s chocolate shop, The Frost Line, is polished, precise, and currently declaring peppermint season like a personal attack.

The town’s Christmas market pairs them for a holiday dessert competition.

Now Nora and Cole have just over three weeks to create one winning treat, which means shared kitchens, blind taste tests, and far more time together than either of them planned.

But they might find creating the perfect Christmas dessert may be easier than figuring out what happens when business, trust, and feelings all end up in the same recipe.
