Annie Baker sets her sights on winning the Old Town Christmas Festival's Cookie Contest. A blue ribbon could provide the clout to open her dream bakeshop. But there's one problem: she needs lemons. Stealing lemons isn't as easy as Annie believes when she ends up tangled in the tree, thanks to her neighbor's big, slobbery dog. Standoffish and mysterious neighbor, Kade Black, rescues her, but his cool exterior softens when he becomes Annie's baking assistant. Still, Annie senses Kade has secrets. When those secrets are finally revealed, not only is Annie's heart affected, but her dream might crumble.
