The Holiday Cooking Club — Mary Martinez

Stefani Halladay has spent her life chasing culinary greatness. With her cozy bistro finally gaining traction and the James Beard Award within reach, she's on the brink of everything she's ever wanted-until Grayson Moore walks back into her life. Grayson, now a Michelin-starred chef, was once Stefani's closest rival and almost something more. But when he earned a JBA nomination with a dish eerily similar to hers, she felt betrayed-and shut him out completely. Years later, Grayson is catering a wedding in the charming town of Wintergreen Village when he's stunned to see Stefani among the bridesmaids. Determined to understand why she cut him off, he seizes the chance to reconnect. When a water main breaks at his Chicago restaurant, it unexpectedly gives him time off-their simmering past begins to boil over. As the truth comes to light and holiday magic fills the air, Stefani must decide if she's ready to rewrite the recipe for her future-with Grayson by her side.
