“Susan Mallery never disappoints.” –#1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber

Cupcake baker Nancee Smith is stunned when search–and–rescue pilot Jesse “Shep” Sheppard strides into her kitchen. The last time she saw the Ghost of Heartbreaks Past was the night before he left her at the altar. He said he loved her, then didn't even say goodbye.

Now Shep claims he's done dashing away at the first sign of forever. The romance of Fool's Gold at Christmas tempts her to have faith–snow glistening on rooftops like great swirls of frosting, twinkle lights in every window–but this time around, she's the one with cold feet. If promises alone aren't enough to sway her, Shep will have to show her the love in his heart.
