Faith Porter, the owner of Summit Sweets, is known for her delectable baked goods and unwavering dedication to her small-town community. But it’s her tradition of supplying the firehouse with fresh pastries that’s made her a beloved local figure, honoring the legacy her late father initiated.
When her bakery has the opportunity to be chosen for the upcoming Sweetheart Soirée, Faith is thrilled. But when the lead planner falls ill and transfers responsibilities to Faith, it’s clear that prepping for the event won’t be a cakewalk. With just weeks left, a significant hiccup arises: the crucial special event permit is missing. And the new firefighter assigned to perform the inspection, Mitchell Abernathy, proves to be less than cooperative.
Mitch, a recent transplant to Snowdrift Summit, arrives from another fire department after a tragic accident leaves him grappling with guilt. Transitioning to his new role, he finds himself on inspection duty, a job he’s surprisingly quite fond of. And he’s even more fond of Faith Porter, despite her growing exasperation with his strict adherence to rules and regulations.
Just as Mitch is on the verge of signing off for the permit, disaster strikes Snowdrift, forcing widespread evacuations. The community center, originally slated as the venue for the Sweetheart Soirée, now serves as a shelter for those displaced by the emergency. With no option but to set their differences aside, Mitch and Faith must unite to meet the needs of their community in the time of crisis.

Will they find that amidst chaos and disrupted plans, they’re capable of kindling an unexpected love? Or will the weight of their pasts extinguish their chance at sweet romance?
