The Story

Could true love be hiding between cinnamon kisses and snowflakes?

Ellie loves her quiet life in Glenmorie. She pours her heart into her little bakery, and her famous cinnamon kisses have won over the entire village. With Christmas just around the corner, she is busier than ever, until a stranger stumbles into her life.

Celebrity TV chef Grant MacAllister is stranded in Glenmorie after his car breaks down. The big-city star and the down-to-earth baker couldn’t be more different. Still, he wants to feature Ellie’s baking on his Christmas TV special.

Between snowy walks, nosy neighbors and the warm scent of cinnamon, Ellie and Grant grow closer. Then Grant’s past shows up in the little village in the form of his glamorous ex-girlfriend.

Will Ellie find the courage to give Grant a chance? And will he realize that the Christmas happiness he never knew he wanted has been waiting for him in Glenmorie all along?

A heartwarming holiday story full of humor, romance and winter magic. Perfect for curling up with a mug of hot chocolate and escaping to the snowy Scottish Highlands.
