One bakery. One Recipe. One very unexpected Christmas miracle.
Welcome to Piper Falls, where sugar cookies come with a side of small-town charm… and maybe a second chance at love.Graham Hale doesn’t do Christmas. Or small towns. Or sugar-dusted nostalgia. But when his grandmother passes away, the big-city CEO finds himself back in Piper Falls, Texas, with one mission: finalize her estate and sell off her beloved Bluebonnet Bakery before the holidays.
There’s just one problem—Evie Callahan.
The bakery’s endlessly cheerful, cinnamon-scented baker isn’t about to let a corporate chain bulldoze the heart of their town. She’s determined to honor the woman who taught her everything, even if it means going spatula-to-spreadsheet with the grumpiest man alive.
When the town ropes them into the annual Christmas Cookie Contest, Evie scrambles to recreate Grayson’s grandmother’s signature recipe—but nothing turns out right. To her surprise, Grayson offers to help, despite not knowing a whisk from a rolling pin. Late-night baking sessions turn into laughter, flour fights, and something dangerously close to feelings.
As Christmas approaches, Graham is torn between the life he built and the home he left behind. And Evie has to decide if trusting him again is worth the risk of a broken heart.
He came to sell the bakery. She came to save it. Neither expected a recipe for love.
Perfect for fans of small-town charm, enemies-to-lovers sweetness, and a good old-fashioned Christmas happily ever after.
