will share their favorite recipe for Thanksgiving.

A warm pie. A tasty guy. Happy Thanksgiving
indeed.
Lauren Hauser is home for
the holidays, and she’s been given a challenge: preparing her grandmother’s
pecan pie. The problem? Lauren’s not famed for her baking skills. In fact,
while her sister would win Star Baker every week, and her mom at least knows a
sieve from a spatula, Lauren’s bakes have always been more dangerous than
delicious!
Still, no Thanksgiving
would be complete without dessert…which is why Lauren finds herself searching
for pecans on Thanksgiving Eve. Stumbling into a gorgeous stranger laden down
with bags of pecans seems like a holiday miracle…but despite Jack’s kissable
lips he’s frostier than a snow cone…and out of sight before she can say ‘Macy’s
Parade’!
As the clock counts down to
Thanksgiving dinner, Lauren is running out of time. And without her
grandmother’s perfect pecan pie it won’t be a very Happy Thanksgiving! What
Lauren needs is a knight in shining armour. And it might just be that the magic
of Thanksgiving will find her one after all…

Luke
Hauser’s Favorite Thanksgiving Recipe
The back office at
the Hauser home has been converted into a mini-video recording studio for each
member of the Hauser family along with two special guests to share one of their
favorite Thanksgiving recipes other than the pecan pie.
Hauser
Family File: Luke Hauser is married to Aurora
Hauser and the father of Winter and River and the brother to Lauren Hauser.
Luke has just finished a 10k race, but has begrudgingly given his recording.
“Roll the tape.”
Luke
lumbers into the room. His dark hair is wet and the tank-top he is wearing is
sticking to his chest. He slumps down on the leather couch. “Hey oh, what am I
supposed to say? Oh that’s right my favorite recipe, except the pecan pie,
right right right got it.” Luke motions his hand in the air. A waft of male
odor fills the room.
“Okay
I guess it would have to be the antipasto platter my mom puts out each year
before the big meal. Don’t get me wrong I’m a turkey guy too...but while I’m
waiting for all the other great fixings to be ready, I like chowing down with
some proscutt, mozzarella, and feeding my little flower petal salami. You know
what I’m talking about.” Luke nods his head. “That’s a take, right?”

November – Gina Henning
Gina Henning currently resides where bluebonnets line the highways
in the spring, but she prefers the rock flower anemone from under the sea.
Above the ocean's surface Gina likes to dance with her three boys and travel to
exotic places like the grocery store with her husband. Her pooch Schatzi is a
mix between German Shepherd and possibly pig. One of Gina's favorite pastimes
is running. She recently completed her one-and-done marathon. At the end of the
day her glass of wine is always half-full.
