A Chocolate-Box New Years: (Chocolate-Box #2)

Some recipes don’t turn out quite as you predicted…

Julie Elliot, proprietress of The Pasta Junction, is stubborn about keeping her cooking methods old-school. The extra time and expense are worth it, but her bottom line is often stretched thin—much like herself—especially during the busy holiday season.

When local weatherman Lorenzo Rossi asks for a special anniversary dinner and dessert, she mashes down hard on her reaction to his tall, blue-eyed, Italian-male charm. She needs another relationship disaster like she needs another olive oil stain on her shirt.

Lorenzo, with his sincere smile and dimpled chin, may be juicy as a flank steak and hot as a red pepper, but anniversary means married, and that means hands off. But as she and Lorenzo come up with the ingredients for a perfect celebration, something completely unexpected happens. And her heart may not withstand the storm of emotion she could never have predicted…

Fresh pasta isn’t the only specialty that takes extra time…
