Someone is stealing my Christmas cookies. And somehow, that’s not the strangest thing happening at my bakery.

???? Two weeks before Christmas, I have hundreds of orders to fill and a building inspector threatening to shut down my bakery.

Customers come and go. Demand for my sugary treats keeps climbing. Contractors are everywhere.

And the cookies keep disappearing.

Then there’s Kristian North.

My enormous, blue-eyed repairman looks like a Viking wandered off a mountain and found my kitchen. He swears he hasn’t touched a single sprinkle.

So far, the evidence against him is mostly circumstantial.

Then I catch a glimpse of something huge and white skulking outside my bakery.

There is a perfectly reasonable explanation.

It is absolutely not an abominable snowman.

Then a blizzard hits, Kristian and I are snowed in together overnight—and by midnight, the cookie thief isn’t the only one with an appetite. ????

Cozy monster romance • Cinnamon roll hero + Curvy heroine • Snowed in • Forced proximity • Small-town Christmas • Steamier than a cup of Cocoa • Guaranteed HEA ????

Quick, hot, and bingeable in one sitting. ????
