About this item
As an architect, she designs beautiful buildings ... But will her heart ever find a place to call home? Taylor's architectural firm enters her in a contest to build life-sized gingerbread houses. After the contest, she's likely to get a promotion to a position in another city. But it's a team competition, and Taylor's temperamental partner soon backs out. Taylor needs a replacement -- fast. When she meets Adam, a baker and single dad, she convinces him to be her partner in the contest. After all, winning would give his bakery much-needed exposure. For years, Taylor has avoided thinking of anywhere as "home." When she was a kid, her family was always on the move. But the time she spends with Adam and his daughter Brooke, decorating for Christmas and enjoying Philadelphia's holiday traditions, has her questioning everything. Could she have found a place to call her own? This book includes an original recipe for Gingerbread Cake with Lemon Butter Sauce.
