With life passing by at a record rate and feeling pulled several directions at once, I decided to keep the candy and baking to a minimum. I made sawdust cookies, ginger star cookies, potato mints, and a bad batch of fudge. I left the burner too high under the fudge while the sugar and butter was cooking and ended up with hard dry fudge. My hubby has been eating it, but I felt embarrassed to give it to anyone.

home.
Mace Walker has his life in order
and doesn’t want it disrupted again. Yet, when he discovers a woman stranded in
the snow, he has to help her—despite her overbearing, reckless fiancé. In a
matter of days, Shayla turns his life upside down, forcing him to decide between
leaving or facing the consequences.
