Returning to her home town of Wishing Tree is definitely temporary for Camryn. She can’t wait to leave and get back to her ‘real life’. Until she meets Jake. Suddenly Camryn starts to see the town, and it’s Christmas traditions, differently. She thought she’d put her future on hold…but maybe her real life was here all along, waiting for her to come home.
New in town, River is charmed by Wishing Tree’s Christmas traditions and warm-hearted people, especially Dylan Tucker whose snow melting kisses bring her to the brink of love. But Dylan has a secret and River can’t risk falling for him until she uncovers it, even if that means losing him forever.
Both women find themselves faced with difficult decisions. But if they are prepared to risk their hearts, they might find they are about to have a Christmas to remember…

The delightfully charming Home Sweet Christmas has us returning to the town of Wishing Tree and once again revelling in all the traditions of this small town.
Of all the Christmas traditions, my absolute favourite has to be Cookie Tuesday! I mean, who wouldn’t want such an awesome tradition?
In honour of that, why don’t you have a go at these delicious but very simple sugar cookies?
Mitten Sugar Cookies
Ingredients:
Cookies
6oz plain flour
4oz butter / margarine (at room temperature)
2oz caster sugar
Royal Icing
16oz Royal Icing Sugar
Water
Food colouring / gel
Decorations (like white hundreds and thousands)
Method:
Pre-heat your oven to 130˚C / GM 0.5 / 250˚F.
Beat your butter / margarine in a bowl until it’s soft.
Add the sugar and flour and mix until a soft dough is formed.
Roll out on a floured surface to approximately quarter of an inch thick.
Using a mitten cutter, cut shapes from the dough and lay them on a baking sheet.
Bake for approximately 30 minutes.
Move the cookies to a wire rack to be iced.
Decorate:
Mix your Royal Icing Sugar with water to make a pliant but pipe-able consistency.
Separate your icing into 3 bowls – one for yellow, one for red and one to remain as white.
Pipe a white line around the cuff of the mitten shape.
Pipe a yellow or red line around the rest of the mitten shapes.
Add a little more water to your icing to give a slightly runnier consistency.
Pour or pipe this icing into the lines of the cookies.
Add decorative touches to your cookies by sprinkling hundreds and thousands on the cuffs and adding dots or feathering patterns in different colours.
Wait until the icing sets (1-2 hours) or don’t. Eat and enjoy!
