A lost bet. A grumpy lawyer.
A Christmas cooking class with the woman he’s secretly wanted since the day she came to town.
After losing everything in a Ponzi scheme, chef Mia Bianchi trades New York skyscrapers for her grandmother’s log cabin restaurant in Sugarville Grove.
Determined to start fresh, she hosts a holiday cooking class—partly to share her love of food, partly to make friends in her new town.
Logan Hayes doesn’t lose bets… except the one that lands him in Mia’s class.
He’s admired her quietly for months, but now he’s standing beside her at the stove, flour on his shirt, realizing she’s even more irresistible up close.
Each lesson brings more banter, more warmth, and more moments neither of them want to end.
And when they team up to give a struggling family the Christmas they deserve, the grumpy lawyer and the guarded chef find themselves at the center of something bigger than they ever imagined—community, connection, and maybe even love.
A slow-burn, clean and wholesome holiday romance filled with small-town charm, holiday magic, and a love that will warm your heart long after the last page.
