How does a diabetic bake such wonderful cakes and pastries and not eat them? Emma Rae Travis is asked that question time and time again. Yet she is the winner of this year's most prestigious Passionate Palate Award for her crème brule wedding cake and she has never tasted more than a small mouthful of it.

Emma is making a leap of faith to a new job, at a newly- reopened wedding destination hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. The owner, Jackson Drake, is trying to make a dream come true that was his late wife's, not his, and he is having a tough time of it. However, he is surrounded by his three loving, but controlling, sisters who have everything completely organized, he hopes.

Before the hotel's grand opening, Emma is paid a surprise visit by her father, now living in D.C., and as far as she knows, is divorced from her mother. Then she gets a visit from her mother, now living in Savannah, but moving to Atlanta to put Aunt Sophie in an assisted living facility. Emma is overwhelmed as her somewhat dysfunctional family arrives on the scene, just as overwhelmed as Jackson is by his venture from corporate America into this wedding destination business and his sisters' enthusiasm. Emma feels this family reunion, if they cross paths, will be a recipe for disaster.

As the plans progress and opening night gets closer, Emma and Jackson are quite attracted to each other, but Jackson is having difficulty moving on from his late wife's memory. Can he learn to carry the past with him, yet also have a new future?

Four love stories unfold on the pages of this delightful inspirational romance. What a neat surprise at the ending! An additional treat is added at the beginning of each chapter. There is either a recipe that will make your mouth water, or a wedding or baking tip for your enjoyment and education.
