A small-town baker and a career woman working for a cookie conglomerate get all mixed up in this small-town Christmas romantic comedy, perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey and Maggie Knox. Career-focused Elena is climbing the corporate ladder all the way to the top, so when Sparkle Cookie, the cookie manufacturer she works for, opens a new branch, she jumps at the opportunity to impress her bosses. The townsfolk in New Hope, Pennsylvania, aren’t exactly thrilled about a large company coming in to ruin their small-town feel with factories and truckloads of Sparkle Cookie products on their roads, but Elena is determined to prove herself and make the new branch a success. Local baker Lawrence—and his dog Sugar—have been a beloved staple in New Hope for the past two years. Their bakery specializes in cookies, but with Sparkle Cookie coming in, he’s worried their market will be quickly squashed by franchise locations selling mass-produced (and, in his opinion, terrible) cookies on every street corner. Elena and Lawrence immediately butt heads at a town hall meeting, and Lawrence is determined to drive Sparkle Cookie from town at all costs—but Elena is just as ruthlessly determined to make the New Hope location a success and win over the townspeople. When a cookie competition makes them join forces, sparks fly, and they’re both forced to decide just what price they’re willing to pay to reach their goals.

Jazzy's Fresh Christmas Trees is Jasmine Oliver's last ditch attempt to rescue the family finances and send her little sister to college. She did some research, selected a prime location, and bought the very best Christmas trees available. What she didn't do, though, was check out the competition. SleepSafe Youth is Darcy Gabriel's baby, her way of paying back the help she received as a homeless teen. The charity she established gives homeless kids a safe place to sleep, and SleepSafe's annual Christmas tree sale is the organization's biggest fund-raising event of the year. When Jasmine learns that SleepSafe's Christmas tree lot is only a block away from her own, she turns her dismay and anger into determination and vows to give SleepSafe a run for its money. Sparks fly between Jasmine and Darcy as they compete for the Christmas tree business. Before long, sparks of a different sort fly, and they find themselves experiencing a Christmas they'll never forget.

Crushes aren't just for kids . . . Just ask forty-something Rafe Mooney. He's been crushing on psychiatrist, Dr. Cindy Wheeler since he read her first book years ago. Sure, his attraction began based on her smarts, and her author photo, but now they've become friends in real life too. He may be a big strapping, former military, hottie - but he still gets all kinds of tongue-tied around the doc. Doc Cindy, as everybody local calls her, is an Ashnee Valley, Colorado native. Known for her impeccable style and career aspirations, she's one put-together woman. That's why dragging her feet on finishing her latest book is so darn frustrating. Come hell or high snow, she's spending the holidays isolated until her manuscript is done. When a snowstorm hits, it's Rafe who offers to follow Cindy to her cabin in the mountains to make sure she arrives safely before he drives out-of-state to visit his family. Could ending up stuck together in a secluded cabin be the perfect recipe for a cozy Christmas and a Happy New Year?
