Licking Her Christmas Cookies

<p><strong>In hindsight opening a Christmas tree ornament shop in a small town was a terrible idea.</strong></p><p>The Thanksgiving turkey is still warm and I'm already up to my eyeballs in debt from my failed business.</p><p>To make matters worse my knight in flannel never appeared-you know the guy the one who was tall dark and plaid who had a friendly yellow lab and a truck and sold firewood the one who showed the big-city heroine the true meaning of love and Christmas.</p><p>Yeah he did not come rescue me.</p><p></p><p>Instead Matt Frost showed up like the Prince of Winter to yell at me about the rent I owed him.</p><p>He did not feature in any of my Christmas fantasies. In fact he was exactly the type of Christmas-hating alphahole billionaire in a suit I left Manhattan to escape.</p><p></p><p>I can't worry about him.</p><p>I need to fix my life.</p><p>I have to make a bunch of money before Christmas Eve or I'm a toasted marshmallow.</p><p></p><p>No ornament will be left off this Christmas tree of desperation!</p><p>Gambling on the Christmas raffle that lets you win either ten thousand dollars a giant snow globe or a snack-addicted reindeer? Spin that roulette wheel and bring it on.</p><p>Moonlighting as an elf for an irate Santa? Mama's gotta get paid.</p><p>Entering in The Great Christmas Bake-Off in hopes of winning the grand prize? Fetch me my custom elf apron.</p><p>I so have this bake-off wrapped ribboned and in my Christmas stocking.</p><p></p><p>Except when I'm paired with Matt the Grinch I see my dreams of a debt-free Christmas going up in Yule log flames.</p><p>Matt Frost and I are not compatible baking partners.</p><p>Especially not after he licks the frosting off my Christmas cookies while I scream..</p><p></p><p>Not like that! He's a Christmas-hating Scrooge who ruined my bake-off entry.</p><p>I am not in the market for a Christmas romance.</p><p>Especially not with a six-foot-five guy with ice-blue eyes and washboard abs.</p><p>No not even when he's covered in frosting standing in front of a decorated tree and looking better than an edible Christmas card.</p><p>Nope not even then. </p><p> </p><p>'Tis the season for holiday romance! This is a full-length standalone holiday romantic comedy with nonstop Christmas and romance. If you love over-the-top small-town Christmas festivals overbearing but well-meaning great-aunts and smoking hot guys in nothing but a Santa hat who will melt the snow off the roof of your house snuggle up with a spiked hot chocolate and get in the Christmas romance spirit!</p>
