SYNOPSIS
Greg Hansen’s pregnant sister is on bed rest, so it falls to Greg to finalize the arrangements for her best friend’s bachelorette party. Little does he know he’s in for a sweet surprise. When he arrives at the bakery recommended to him, he comes face to face with the man he never should’ve let get away—Rhys Denning.
Rhys’s business is booming with the holidays approaching, so he can’t agree to cater the party without help—and that means Greg getting his hands dirty in the kitchen, where the two reconnect over sugar, spice, holiday goodies of all kinds, and even some penis-shaped baguettes! But the most satisfying treat might be the second chance they never thought they’d get.
Some of the things were doable. He could arrange to buy the bar supplies, since they were serving
limited kinds of drinks, it seemed. But the food? The list was overwhelming, even with the recipes
Annalise had provided. There was no way in the world he was going to be able to do this. Gregory was a
danger in the kitchen. He could do simple things, but he had never baked. That was Annalise’s specialty,
and she had banned him from her kitchen when he nearly burned it down making french fries once.
“A cake….” Thank God he didn’t have to make that. She had given him the name of the bakery she
wanted it from, so he pulled out his phone to check their hours and get it ordered. Everything that it
should say was there, so all he had to do—
“I’m sorry,” the recording began. “Due to a death in the family, the Dutch Bakery will be closed for the
next week and will reopen December first. However, due to this closure, we can take no additional orders
for the holiday season. Thank you.”
Great. Gregory messaged his sister as to what she wanted him to do and received a reply.
This is Jonathan. Please call me.
Gregory dialed his number, and Jonathan answered. “Gregory, Annalise is sleeping and I’m not sure how
well she is right now.” He was clearly scared. “I’m thinking of taking her to the hospital if she isn’t any
better soon.”
Oh God. “What’s wrong? She was tired but talking when I was there.”
“That’s good. I’m going to let her sleep, but I’m really worried.” Jonathan was not a drama queen in any
way. He was steady as a rock.
