Sophia's Christmas Project

He came to fix my restaurant. I'd rather show him the door. >Too bad I'm not one of them. My parents brought him to Birchdale without telling me, convinced I need his expert opinion before they officially hand over the family restaurant. I'm determined to prove them wrong. So, Nathan and I make a deal: we'll plan one unforgettable Christmas dinner together. If it succeeds, he tells my parents I know exactly what I'm doing. Easy. But working beside Nathan is proving far more challenging than I expected. Behind the confidence and infuriating smirks is a man who understands my passion for food, believes in my ideas, and somehow knows when I need to be pushed-and when I need someone standing beside me. Now the Christmas dinner isn't the only thing at risk. Because Nathan was never planning to stay in Birchdale, and I've spent years building a future that doesn't leave much room for anything except my restaurant. Falling for him definitely wasn't on the menu. But convincing my heart that he's temporary might be the hardest thing I've ever done.
