Emma Porter writes about happy endings, but getting one for herself is a whole other matter. A messy divorce and a dwindling writing career bring her back to her hometown and the man she'd left behind. Cade Barnes swore he'd never fall in love again. No one, not even the town's cookie-making busybodies, would get him to make the same mistake twice. When Emma and Cade unexpectedly get partnered for the town's Christmas baking fundraiser, the heat between them rises like the cookie dough. The magic of the season and a few dozen candy cane kiss cookies may be just the ingredients needed for a second chance at love.
