Synopsis "Sweet as Gingerbread: A small-town Christmas Romance Series"
She came home to bake for Christmas. She didn’t expect to find her first love waiting for her. Emily Harris has built a successful career as an executive baker at a grand hotel in the Canadian Rockies. But behind the picture-perfect pastries, long hours and endless deadlines have left her wondering if the life she worked so hard for is still the life she wants. When an opportunity sends her home to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, for Christmas, Emily is ready for familiar faces, festive traditions and a little breathing room. What she isn’t ready for is Jack Pierce. Twenty years ago, Emily and Jack were young, in love, and dreaming of futures that would eventually take them in different directions. Now Jack is the town veterinarian, devoted to his community, his animal rescue project and Max, his lovable black Lab. When Emily agrees to help with a Christmas gingerbread competition and fundraiser for Jack’s animal rescue centre, their lives become tangled together once again. Between snow-covered streets, twinkling harbour lights, gingerbread houses and a little Christmas mistletoe, old feelings begin to resurface. But Emily’s life is waiting for her on the other side of the country. This Christmas, she’ll have to decide whether coming home is only a holiday escape, or the beginning of the life she was meant to choose. Sweet as Gingerbread is a cozy small-town Christmas romance filled with second chances, festive baking, community spirit, a lovable black Lab, and the reminder that sometimes the sweetest love stories lead us right back home. Perfect for readers who love second-chance romance, small-town Christmas charm, holiday baking, Canadian settings, and heartwarming happily-ever-afters.
