The Pumpkin Pie Romance

a romantic comedy novella of Thanksgiving and baking chaos

By: Janice Bayne, HTJ Fiction Publications

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Rival bakers, small-town charm, and a dash of pumpkin spice…

Claire, a dedicated small-town baker, has always taken pride in her pies—but when Evan, the charming baker at the local grocery store, shows up, her perfect crusts and careful recipes are suddenly under threat. From flour-covered mishaps to pie-eating competitions, their rivalry heats up faster than an oven on Thanksgiving morning.

As Maplewood’s annual festival draws near, Claire and Evan are forced into a series of challenges that test their skills, patience, and hearts. Between frosting disasters and playful sabotage, they begin to realize that sometimes the sweetest ingredients in life aren’t sugar or spice—they’re laughter, connection, and maybe, just maybe, love.
