On the 16th Day of Christmas
Kristi Pelton

Setting off on an obligatory trip back to Connecticut for Christmas, she meets a handsome stranger in a dog park of all places. Since they are both traveling east, they decide to travel separately but together. With his boyish charm and Irish accent, it’s the story Christmas books and movies are written about: A Baker and the Irishman. But after five days of lengthy phone conversations and five nights of building attraction, all it takes is one word to remind Scarlett that fairytales only happen in books and that movies never get it right.
Scarlett has literally provided the romantic gods with every essential item for a good love story, yet there she sits, driving back to her small town…alone. The happily ever after always promised, nowhere to be found. Scarlett thought she had finally found the secret ingredient for her romance recipe but as every baker knows, even the most perfect recipes sometimes don’t work out…or do they?
