RECIPE FOR LOVE: A Christmas Romance Worth Waiting For
About
⭐ SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE • SMALL TOWN LOVE • CHRISTMAS MAGIC • ENEMIES TO LOVERS ⭐
When big-city chef Annie Rivers returns to her snow-kissed Vermont hometown to save her family’s failing bakery, the last person she expects to find wielding a hammer—and a devastatingly sexy smile—is Cole Anderson, the ruggedly handsome contractor who shattered her heart eight years ago.
He left without a word. She never forgave him. Now they’re forced to work together—and the chemistry is explosive.
Cole has spent eight years becoming the man Annie deserved, building a life with his own hands in the town that raised them both. But watching her succeed in Boston while he ached for what they’d lost taught him that some mistakes haunt you forever—unless you’re brave enough to fight for a second chance.
With only six weeks to save everything she loves, Annie must choose between:
The safe, sophisticated life waiting for her in Boston
The dangerous, heart-stopping possibility of trusting Cole again
But when a corporate giant threatens to destroy everything that makes their town special, Annie and Cole must join forces to prove that authentic love—like the perfect recipe—requires the courage to try again, even when the first attempt left you burned.
As Christmas magic transforms their hometown into a winter wonderland, and their forbidden attraction ignites into something neither can resist, Annie discovers that the secret ingredient she’s been missing isn’t in any cookbook—it’s in Cole’s strong arms, his patient heart, and his whispered promise that some people really do stay when staying gets difficult.
“I never stopped thinking about you. Not for a single day.”
He’s determined to win her back. She’s terrified to trust again. Together, they might just create something more delicious than anything either imagined possible.
