Bakery owner Annie Andrews has spent years trading barbs with Mac Sullivan, the irritatingly upbeat bar owner next door, but a looming wedding forces the pair together. What follows is a classic enemies-to-lovers romance wrapped in gingerbread, mistletoe, and small-town charm — a warm, witty, and utterly swoon-worthy read for fans of festive love stories with real heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAnnie Andrews has built her life around her beloved Gingerbread Bakery, filling Dream Harbor with the scent of cinnamon and the comfort of routine. Her love life, however, is anything but sweet, largely thanks to her ongoing feud with Mac Sullivan, the relentlessly cheerful owner of the bar down the street. Every exchange between them crackles with sharp banter and simmering tension, the hallmark of a well-loved enemies-to-lovers dynamic. When Jeanie and Logan's wedding pulls Annie and Mac into close, unavoidable proximity, their careful walls begin to crack, revealing old wounds and a connection neither expected. As the whole of Dream Harbor comes together to celebrate amid falling snow, Annie and Mac must decide whether their years of squabbling have masked something far more tender. Every book in the series can be read as a standalone, so new readers can dive straight into Annie and Mac's story, while longtime fans finally get the pay-off they've been waiting for. Gilmore's storytelling blends humour, emotional depth, and a richly cosy small-town setting, exploring forgiveness, self-discovery, and second chances, delivering a guaranteed happily-ever-after alongside plenty of steam and heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA heartwarming enemies-to-lovers romance from a #1 New York Times bestselling author.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook 5 in the beloved Dream Harbor series — fully enjoyable as a standalone read.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA cosy, snowy small-town setting perfect for festive and winter reading.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelatable, quirky characters with real emotional depth and swoon-worthy chemistry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal gift for fans of small-town romance, forced proximity, and found family tropes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLaurie Gilmore is the pen name of American author Melissa McTernan, a #1 New York Times, Sunday Times, and Globe \u0026amp; Mail bestselling author who writes steamy small-town romance.
