The Wildflower Whisk

A Sweet Chocolate Festival Romance

De: Hazel Croft

She didn't want to win. He didn't want to feel. Five days in Hallow Creek changed everything

Marisol Vega makes chocolate the way she does everything — by feel. No thermometer, no formula, just hands that have learned to read heat and instinct that has never let her down. She's a florist who bakes for love, not ambition, and when she signs up for the Hallow Creek Autumn Chocolate Festival on a whim, she expects a week of good company and better pastry. She does not expect a partner.

Matteo Ricci is not a whim kind of man. He's a James Beard–nominated chocolatier with fourteen years of precision behind him and a very specific reason for returning to competition: the man who stole his name, his recipes, and his future is sitting on the judging panel. Matteo came to Hallow Creek to win. He did not plan for Marisol.

Paired by the festival lottery (the meticulous Italian chef and the wildflower-growing florist with sourdough starter named Abuela) they have five days to build something extraordinary out of instinct and structure, feeling and formula, a clover crown and a park bench and a shared spoon. And somewhere between the tempering station and the cobblestones and the October mountain air, Matteo starts to wonder if the thing he came here to reclaim was never a competition trophy at all.

A sweet contemporary romance set in a valley town that smells of chocolate, woodsmoke, and wildflowers. This is a kisses-only romance with a guaranteed happily ever after.
