Christmas Baked In: Miravalle Books

Rory Fletcher's star is rising faster than a perfectly proofed dough. As the breakout fan-favorite of the season's hottest baking competition, she's winning hearts with her modern twists on classic treats and desserts almost too beautiful to eat. But when Rory's dreams of championship glory come to a screeching halt after an explosive backstage rant is accidentally broadcast nationwide, her carefully crafted reputation falls apart.

Forced to retreat to the snowy hometown she left behind, along with the friendships and relationships she never properly repaired, she takes the only job she knows she can't possibly fail at: teaching a baking class at her old high school.

Seth Cantrell has returned to Merry Town with big plans of his own. As the new head of his family's Christmas business, he's determined to turn a beloved local tradition into a holiday empire. The last thing he needs is Rory Fletcher, the town's most infamous baker, stirring up trouble and distracting him with her irresistible charm.

When Rory and Seth find themselves competing in Merry Town's annual Christmas Carnival, their rivalry quickly heats up. Between baking battles, old grudges, and undeniable chemistry, these two walking disasters may discover that the sweetest victories aren't won alone.
