CHAPTER ELEVEN

Thankful her disguise seemed to be working, Kelsey stood outside the bakery with Will. No one seemed to be paying any attention to them. She probably could have come up with something more clever than a big coat, hat, and sunglasses, but there hadn’t been time. She needed to order a wedding cake, and to do that, she needed to taste cake samples. There also wasn’t a back door that customers were allowed to use because today was delivery day. Yes, she’d asked Will and even called the shop.

From the street, Fitzpatrick’s Baked Goods looked like a quaint bakery, a mom-and-pop shop you might find on any main street in any small town in America.

According to Will, the Fitzpatrick family supplied baked goods to local restaurants, ski resorts, and hotels, including Starr Lake Inn.

The bakery was also gaining a reputation for its cakes—birthday, wedding, you name it. The Fitzpatricks’ oldest daughter, Molly, baked cakes that Will described as sinful. This, Kelsey had to taste. Not only the cake but what Will considered sinful.

Will opened the glass door for her, and a bell jangled. Kelsey entered the bakery. The smell of vanilla, chocolate, and a hint of cinnamon lingered in the air, greeting her like an old friend. Glass display cases held a variety of cakes, pastries, tortes, breads, and cookies. Round tables covered with blue-and-white checkered tablecloths and white wood tole-painted chairs filled the bakery and were crowded with customers dressed in every type of ski attire imaginable. The din of the crowd rose above the morning’s ski report being broadcast over speakers placed in the ceiling.

A woman in her early twenties with a fair complexion and copper-colored hair greeted Will with a hug and kiss. Kelsey’s stomach flip-flopped at the sight.

Will kept his arm around the woman’s shoulders. “Kelsey Armstrong Waters, meet Molly Fitzpatrick.”

The woman was the cake baker he’d talked about. Kelsey didn’t understand why that made the knot in her stomach loosen. She extended her hand. “Nice to meet you.”

As Molly shook her hand, she smiled, a friendly expression full of warmth and enthusiasm. Freckles dotted the bridge of her nose and cheeks. “The pleasure is mine, Ms. Waters.”

“Kelsey.”

A dimple appeared in Molly’s left cheek. “Kelsey, it is. Follow me.”

Molly led them to a room with its own door. “Will said you were trying to keep a low profile, so I thought you might want to taste the samples in private.”

“Thank you.” Inside the room, Kelsey removed her sunglasses. Not only were small plates with cake samples set out next to a pitcher of water and cups, but actual cakes of varying sizes and shapes covered the other tables. Cakes that made Kelsey’s mouth water. If they tasted as good as they looked… “I’ve heard glowing reports about your cakes.”

“I’ve heard the same about your weddings, though Will tells me this one is an anniversary party for his parents.”

“Yes, they’ll be renewing their vows, and the party will be a wedding reception for them.”

Molly’s green-eyed gaze met Will’s.
