The Tinsel Twist
A recipe for love requires a dash of danger! From debut author Rosie J. Potter comes a heartwarming holiday romance that serves up equal portions of suspense and sweet second chances, perfect for fans of Lucy Score and Maren Moore.
When chef Adelaide Burke returns to her hometown of Tinsley Falls after her restaurant fails, she expects to lay low and lick her wounds. Instead, she’s roped into saving the town’s massive Christmas feast and reunited with Jace Stanton—her best friend’s brother and the secret love of her college years. As sparks reignite between them, Adelaide discovers she’s not the only one seeking a fresh start: Jace is hiding from his own troubles in London, where his ex-fiancée faces criminal charges.
But someone is determined to destroy both the feast and their second chance at love. As sabotage escalates to danger, Adelaide and Jace must confront not only a criminal conspiracy but their own fears about trust and commitment. With Christmas—and their lives—on the line, will their rekindled romance survive both a white Christmas and a black-hearted revenge plot?
