In Mistletoe Cove, where Christmas magic meets second chances...

Sophia Chen has built her reputation as the Gourmet Gazette's toughest food critic on objectivity and a discerning palate. At forty-four, she views judging Mistletoe Cove's annual holiday baking contest as just another assignment-until she meets the man behind the town's beloved Sugar & Spice Bakery.
