В ту зимнюю ночь Дженни Маески потеряла все. Ее дом сгорел, и огонь уничтожил фотографии, дневники и, что самое печальное, старинные бабушкины рецепты. Уже много лет Дженни владела пекарней в Авалоне и вела кулинарную колонку в местной газете, мечтая когда-нибудь написать книгу. Начальник полиции Рурк Макнайт приютил ее в своем доме. Когда-то Дженни была помолвлена с его лучшим другом. Все эти годы между ней и Рурком существовало взаимное притяжение, но по негласному правилу они старались друг друга избегать. Будто сама судьба подсказывала Дженни, что пора расстаться с прошлым и тогда мечты о писательской карьере и счастливой семье смогут стать реальностью.
