Craved by the Christmas Chef
(2024)(The fifth book in the Rosewood Valley: Christmas Season series)
A Story by Summer Rose
Lots of sugar and spice is what I expect when I enter Rosewood Valley's Baking Contest - not falling for the grumpiest Michelin Chef in town.
Michael is all sharp edges and stern looks, a culinary perfectionist who seems allergic to Christmas cheer. He's also devastatingly handsome, and somehow, I keep catching his eye across our neighboring stations.
At first, he seems annoyed by my cheerful approach to baking. But when my mixer breaks down, and he comes to my rescue, I discover there's more to this brooding chef than his icy exterior suggests.
Between stolen glances and shared recipes, something sweet begins to simmer.
He might be ten years my senior and used to running prestigious kitchens, but the way he looks at me when I pipe frosting roses makes me forget all about our differences.
Can Christmas magic help me melt this gorgeous grump's perfectly crafted walls? Or will our delicious connection crumble like an overbaked cookie when the contest ends?
Craved by the Christmas Chef is a short, sweet, and steamy small town instalove romance with a happy-ever-after. It can be read as a standalone or together with the rest of the books in the Rosewood Valley: Christmas Season.
Genre: Romance
