After more than a year of job hunting and eating cheap noodles, the letter arrives. Brice Anders has landed the pastry chef position at a five-star restaurant. As he heads for the new village with his signature recipes secure in his pocket, Brice is confident no one will rob him of success again. Meeting Izzie, the barista at a local coffee shop, is more than he ever expects. Restaurant guests give his Christmas desserts rave reviews. Even the previous pastry chef, who left without notice, never received such praise. Then, late one night, Brice finds his home kitchen ransacked, his designs in the open, and the special confectionary Christmas gift he is preparing for Izzie ruined. An angry man’s face appears in the window. Brice hunts for him through the ice and snow, but the Intruder is gone. With Christmas only days away and the tormenting intensifying, Brice must stop the intruder’s plot to steal his job—or worse, harm someone from the restaurant. Five star recipes included.
