A Cupcake Lovers Holiday Story
Growing up in Sugar Creek, Maya Templeton and Zachary Cole were best friends. After high school, each went out into the world in search of adventure. Maya moved to Florida to explore her passion for baking and pastry-making, eventually establishing her own business: Cupcakes & Dreamscapes. Zach joined the military and became a Marine Scout Sniper. Now, after years apart, they’re both going home for the holidays. They don’t seem to have much in common anymore. In fact, Zach seems to have the hots for Maya’s business partner. But when the two get stranded together during a blizzard, they are forced to reexamine their connection. Are Maya and Zach better off “just friends”—just as they were when they were young? Or could it be that true love was there all along?

Life long friends turned to a deeper love. What is more romantic? I fell in love with this couple only a few pages into their story. His heart was lighter just by seeing her. Wow. So touching. And because it’s a Christmas novella, you get ghosts and a few tears. AAA prime sweet and wonderful.

I loved everything about this story. It was a closed-door romance but the story itself was so fantastic that the explicit sex wasn’t necessary. Add a sexy, broody former marine, a woman who bakes cupcakes for a living and a classic Christmas story twist and I’m all in!

Maya with her sweetness and kindness reminded me another heroine of Ciotta’s, Evie. Zach was a great hero, wounded physically and spiritually, but on the way to healing and happiness. I want more stories with the wonderful characters of Sugar Creek!
