Falling in London
I flew over 5,000 miles just to end up with a broken heart. Instead of cursing my ex and stuffing my face with French pastries, I decided to say goodbye to Paris and hello to London.
I now run my own event planning agency and just landed the gig of a lifetime. Nothing will stop me from throwing the most epic party of the year. Not even my handsome, smooth-talking new client.
His charm and adoring smile doesn’t make it easy. Add on endless catering appointments, dessert tastings and our incredibly hard-to-ignore chemistry, and I’m in trouble.
Falling for the client was not in my plan, and with the big event around the corner, I’m doing everything I can to keep my to-do list and my heart in check.
But maybe nailing the big event and the guy wouldn’t be such a bad thing?
For the Love of Gingerbread
The last thing Addie Pine wants is to return home for Christmas, but a new nephew is hard to resist. To Addie's surprise, a new baby isn't the only thing new in Cold Spring. Her favorite coffee shop, Mave's, has a new baker named Drake. And while Drake's good looks and charm are almost as delectable as his gingerbread cookies, the news he delivers isn't as sweet.
Mave’s is in trouble and if something isn't done soon, this might be its last Christmas in Cold Spring. Thankfully, Addie has an idea that could save the coffee shop, but she needs Drake's baking skills to pull it off.
With late nights and a deadline looming, the oven isn't the only thing heating up in the kitchen. And although Addie tries her best to keep her eyes on the gingerbread cookies, she'll soon come to find out that maybe everything she was looking for, was in Cold Spring all along.

Now, she has a flourishing dog walking business and even started a secret food blog as an excuse to taste test the culinary excellence and eavesdrop on all the town gossip that Blue Haven has to offer.
