Love at the Icicle Café by Denise N. Wheatley
Can an icicle-themed festival thaw the most unlikely hearts?
California lawyer Mina Richards spent her childhood helping her mom bake at their winter-themed café in the snowy village of Gosberg, Germany. When her retired parents want to sell The Icicle Café, Mina returns to facilitate the sale. She needs this to go right—she’ll fly in, finalize the deal and fly out to rescue her once high-powered career. But faced with Scott, her childhood friend and crush who doesn’t want to sell, Mina’s plan quickly falls apart.
Rising chef Scott Dawson has turned The Icicle Café into a destination restaurant. His parents and their partners want to sell the café to a hotel chain, and Scott can’t meet their price. When Mina arrives—more beautiful and determined than ever—he sees the possibility of a new future for the business and the town he loves. He just needs to change her mind…about more than selling the café.
When Scott asks Mina to help with the café’s annual Icicle Fest, their icy relationship warms. Can these former friends find a future together in the snowy village of their past?
This is Mina Richards and Scott Dawson's story.
“I’m so glad I was able to help you win your case,” patent attorney Mina Richards said.
“We wouldn’t have been able to do it without you,” Jim Stern, owner of Colorblind Solution Lenses, replied. “Trust me, the next time we need to hit someone with an infringement claim, I’ll be giving you a call.”
Mina led Jim through the lobby of Anderson & Moore LLP. “Thank you. It would be my pleasure to represent you again,” she said, shaking his hand before he exited the law firm.
“Betty was telling me about all the wonderful upgrades Scott has made since we were there last year. He’s expanded the menu, begun selling winter-themed décor and books, and hosts cooking and crafting workshops on weekends.” “Oh wow. That sounds fantastic. I’m sure the townspeople and tourists are loving it.”
Along with all the upgrades he’s made to the café, he is also planning to ramp up this year’s Icicle Fest. He’s going to throw an even bigger parade, host a ton of new vendors, run several winter-themed contests, and
offer up even more good food and music.” “Really?” Mina asked. “That is going to be amazing. I love that Scott has worked so hard to expand the Icicle brand.”
