Christmas Ever After

De: Sadie Bloom

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A Manhattan chef. One haunted bakery. A ghost with matchmaking plans.

Manhattan chef Scott West inherits his great-aunt's bakery in Snowdrift Springs with one plan: sell fast and escape. But The Spirited Spoon has other ideas. Doors lock. Recipe cards appear from nowhere. And his late great-aunt Rosie? She's still there, determined to teach him what really matters.

Marlo Shields is a local reporter for the Snowdrift Springs Gazette who can taste emotions in pastry. She knows The Spirited Spoon is the heart of the town and she's determined to save it from the grumpy, gorgeous new owner who wants to sell.

The problem? Developer Edward Hunter is making aggressive offers to buy the bakery and bulldoze it for luxury apartments. When a blizzard traps Scott in town, Rosie's ghost begins leaving magical recipes—pastries that reveal hidden truths, spark connections, and remind people what love really means.

As Scott bakes his way through enchanted apple turnovers, clarity cookies, and mystical macarons, he discovers the bakery's real magic: the power to bring people together. But with Edward's deadline looming at midnight on Christmas Eve, Scott must choose between taking the money and running ~ or staying to fight for a community, a woman, and a future he never knew he wanted.
