To add to her dilemma, Officer Will Jenkins, who stood her up on their first date last Christmas, finds her in front of a fruitcake display and encourages her to keep the family tradition alive. Officer Will Jenkins has been infatuated with Jillian for longer than he cares to admit. His dreams of dating her came to an end at the Christmas social when he saw her in the arms of another man. When he learns she’s been offered baking lessons, he inadvertently becomes involved and ends up in a matchmaking quandary. Will their dilemmas draw them closer together or farther apart?
