running her own catering business, but no one in Wexford Bay believes she can pull it off. Why should they? She's a Duncan, and if there's anything Duncans are known for, it's failed dreams. But she's determined to prove them wrong.
Her gorgeous boyfriend Ben gives her the chance of a lifetime when he promises they can make fifty pies in two weeks' time for a Thanksgiving celebration. He believes in her, and he's willing to do anything, even roll pie crusts to help her dreams come true. Problem is, it's still a lot of work, even for two.
In a whimsical moment, Takara makes a wish on a good luck charm given to her by her mother -- another dreamer. Turns out, there's more to that charm than luck. In fact, it's bound to a centuries-old, eternally young Russian man, Peter, who crossed a witch and has no choice but to help the bearer of the charm who needs him.
But what is meant by "help" and "need" is open to interpretation, and soon Ben and Takara both find themselves in "need" of something only Peter can give them. |
