Xavier Bellamy, forty-six, has been perfecting his gingerbread recipe all year. Known for his warm smile and generous spirit, he's a pillar of the Mistletoe Cove community. But when he meets the sophisticated city woman who holds his culinary fate in her hands, he finds himself cooking up more than just contest entries.
