Chocolate Covered Mistletoe

Christmas has always been my favorite time of year, but when my Grinch of a landlord decides to raise the rent on my bakery and a new candy shop opens directly across from me, I'm anything but jolly.

The problem is that it's not just ANY candy shop- it's an over-the-top fancy chocolaterie owned by none other than Ryder Jones- former best friend and the boy who unknowingly stole my heart in high school.

He may have come back from Nashville with a big city mindset, but my small town heart knows how to win over the locals. I just need to stay focused on my business and not let his charming personality squeeze its way into my life. The magic of the holidays have a way of making things look sweeter than they are.
