Ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon... the smells of Christmas. The smells of
home.
Rachel Murphy longs for home and family. Since childhood, she's dreamed
of owning her own pastry shop, but after being burned by a celebrity
chef and losing her lease in Arizona, Rachel's spending the holidays
with her brother in Montana. To keep her dream alive, she's creating
custom gingerbread houses and selling them around town. All she needs is
a bigger kitchen... and to stay away from her brother's handsome boss.
Former venture capitalist Nate Vaughn has embraced his inner cowboy and
now runs a successful dude ranch where Rachel's brother works. Nate's
commercial kitchen is perfect for Rachel's baking needs, and seeing the
cute blonde's business acumen, Nate knows she'd be the perfect partner
for a new business. When he makes her an offer she can't refuse, he
discovers he's interested in more than her gingerbread. While Nate could
make her dreams come true, Rachel's heart, as well as her head, tells
her mixing business with anything else could be a recipe for disaster.
Should she return to Arizona, and leave Nate and her new eager-for-more
customers behind? Or can Nate convince her that, here with him in the
mountains of Montana, she's already home? For Christmas.... forever.
