She’ll do anything to win. Trouble is, so will he, and only one of them can take the cake… Cake caterer Lily Callahan always follows the rules. So when the Pine Mountain Resort hosts a Christmas baking competition with a prize of ten thousand dollars, she breaks out all of her tried-and-true recipes. The money will go a long way toward her dream of opening a bakery, and she’s determined to come out on top. Even when she discovers she’s up against Pete Mancuso, the cockiest pastry chef to ever sweeten the pot. Pete wants fame, not fortune. After breaking one rule too many, he needs to win this holiday bake-off to restore his reputation. He’s not going to let beautiful, by-the-book Lily distract him from first place, especially not when the title will land him a prestigious job in the city. No matter how high—or hot—the stakes get.
