Christmas Cheese Ball Recipe

Family and food are always prominent in my books because they are so dear to my heart. I love a loud room filled with all my crazy siblings and our kids. Sharing love and happiness, isn’t that what the season is all about.

When my family is all gathered together it mean a lot of hungry tummies. Pleasing adults and kiddos at the same time is tough, but I have found at least one tasty treat that seems to delight everyone. Today I’d like to share with you my recipe for a Christmas Cheese Ball.

Maggie Evans is back in Peak Town, Colorado to take over her grandmother’s cupcake shop, but problems keep arising. Is it rotten luck…or something more nefarious? To top it off, her former best friend/childhood crush, Colton Denning, won’t leave her alone. He’s sexier than ever. But Maggie has no time for love.

When his best friend comes back into town all grown up, Colton finds his feelings for her go far beyond friendship. Unfortunately, the pretty baker only sees him as the town playboy. He plans to convince her otherwise, but may not get the chance when someone starts threatening Maggie’s life.

Whether she likes it or not, Colton plans to take her safety into his own hands. How will Maggie keep her shop afloat with a madman after her? More importantly, how will she keep her heart intact when Colton admits her safety isn’t the only thing he wants in his hands?
