Spencer Dean knew her better than anyone in the world, and in that moment, she knew that she didn’t have to explain. He got it. More important, he got her.
He reached down and she put her hands in his, relishing the comfort of their connection as he tugged her gently to her feet. “They’re gone,” he repeated. “At least for now. And I’m so, so sorry.”
It was that apology that finally got her mind humming again. That, and the simple fact that having him beside her had sent relief coursing through her with so much power that she didn’t have any room left inside her for the irritation and frustration.
“You don’t have anything to apologize for,” she said. “I’m the one who lost it.” She released his hands and dragged her fingers through her long, blond hair. “I tripped over my own damn feet and everything inside me just exploded, but it’s not your fault.”
“Isn’t it?” He cocked his head toward the den, then pressed his palm gently against her back and steered her off the sunporch and into the house proper. She sat on the sofa they’d picked out two episodes ago. This was the first room to be fully finished, and as she settled back against the thick, comfortable cushions, she looked up at the high, tiled ceiling and the restored period molding. Not a detail had been ignored, and the room was a showplace now. And she and Spencer owed that to the television program as much to their own hard work and planning.
She drew in a long breath, then released it again. “No,” she said firmly. “It’s not your fault.”
“I’m the one who pushed for Mansion Makeover. I’m the one who made this show happen.” He sat down next to her, his thigh hard against hers. Then took her hand and twined their fingers together. She squeezed, relishing this connection to him. The man she loved. The man she’d lost once, but had miraculously regained.
“I want it, too,” she said. “I love this place.” The historic mansion had been stunning even in its dilapidated state, and slowly but surely they were bringing it back to life. It was work she loved with a man she loved. There was just that one little hitch. “It’s only…it’s just…I mean, I guess I finally reached my limit of being under the microscope. I don’t normally mind—I really don’t. I knew what I signed on for when I agreed to do the show with you. But they’re here all the time. And tomorrow—our engagement party? Except it isn’t even really our party because it was their idea. Molly and Adam’s.”
She sucked in another breath and leaned against him. “I know I sound whiney and ungrateful considering that once it’s over we’re going to have this incredible home. It’s just that every time I turn around it feels like someone from the production is behind me.”
“I get it,” he said, brushing his thumb along the curve of her jaw, the contact sending shivers through her. “I really do.”
Slowly, he kissed her. His mouth firm against hers. Tender at first, then with rising heat, until the ache inside her consumed her, so that she gasped with love and longing when he pulled away, his eyes shining with need.
“And Angel,” he said, “they’re not here now.”
Hi Everyone!! So the recipes to choose from in this book all sounded amazing - but since I have children who would A) want to help cook/bake and B) help eat - we went with the Cookies - because what kid doesn't like cookies?!
Now the recipe calls for using a hand mixer - but I only have my Kitchen Aid - but it worked just as well.
In our house of all girls (except the hubby), we bake a lot together. And on our Baking nights - we have Kitchen dance parties. So We had a lot of fun combining our not-so-amazing dancing skills, while mixing this cookie dough together. The recipe was pretty simple and easy to understand.
First we creamed butter and sugar together.
 |
| This girl was skeptical about dried cranberries. |
Then we slowly added the other ingredient, until we had to perfect dough for baking.
 |
| My youngest insists I share our "Chica" and "Princess" eggs. And Yes I told my children the ones with spots were from a certain chicken, don't tell them the truth LOL |
 |
| Looks Yummy, doesn't it? I couldn't keep the kids out of the dough. |
I have to say that Of my three daughters - one was skeptical about these cookies, one was a flat Nope not even going to try, and the third was excited because she loves cranberries. But once the dough was made - all three of them stole a bit of it and I'm happy to report - they all loved it.
When we pulled fresh warm cookies out, they were devouring them before they cold even cool.

The Recipe is as Follows
White Chocolate Cranberry Cookies
1 stick butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
1 cup dried cranberries
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, using a hand mixer, cream together butter and sugar until smooth, then add egg and vanilla. Slowly add flour, baking soda and baking powder until blended. Stir in the white chocolate chips and cranberries. Place 1 tablespoon at a time on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes.
My daughters and I had a wonderful time preparing this recipe and it is definitely one we will keep in our cookie rotation.
I can't speak for the book itself yet, as I haven't read it - but the recipes are easy to understand, made with everyday ingredients and if they are all as tasty as these cookies, you are in for an enjoyable experience cooking any of them.
