Delaney Dodge has it all. Her bakery is thriving. She teaches baking lessons at night. She's landed a big deal with a New York publisher for a cookbook. And the most eligible bachelor in town can't stop flirting with her.

But all of this is threatened when Delaney finds a dead body early one cold January morning.

The most respected businessman in town has been murdered, and the evidence points to one of Delaney's oldest and dearest friends. And with a local county attorney looking to make a name for himself with a high profile arrest, time is running out. So Sheriff Maggie Duckworth, understaffed and overextended, asks Delaney Dodge a question that will change the course of the young baker's life.
