Short, steamy, small town, friends to lovers, humorous holiday rom-com Romance

She's a hot mess baker, and he's the hot alpha next door with a bad boy reputation. Will they bake up a little holiday magic, or is she just his cookie of the week?

Hope

My life is a mess, but things are starting to look up when my catering business finally gets local recognition.

When my oven overheats while I'm baking cookies for the annual gingerbread house decorating contest, the smokin' hot guy next door offers to help me with my goodies.

Drake is a steamy cup of hot cocoa, and I'd love to dip my cookie in his cream.

But can I trust my heart to a guy with a notorious reputation and bachelorhood emblazoned across his chest?

Drake

Being voted Cranberry Corner's most eligible bachelor is an honor, but it's not who I aspire to be.

Full disclosure: I'm tired of serial dating and one-night stands. I want the deluxe relationship package with all the sprinkles and cream filling.

The problem is I've found the red-headed woman of my dreams, but she thinks I'm nothing more than a smooth-talking player.

Hope is a curvy swirl of cinnamon and sugar, and I'd love to taste her candied ginger center.

Can I convince her I'm ready for a happily ever after, but only with her?

Warning: When this smooth-talking playboy tumbles head over heels in love with our sweet-as-sin curvy baker, he'll do whatever it takes to win her heart. If you love cinnamon roll alphas, curvy women, and sticky, sweet, spicy romance, then you'll love Hope and Drake.

If you're a hopeful romantic at heart and love steamy, short, small-town, swoony romances, then Cranberry Corner is the place for you. Don your mittens and prepare for a cookie dough fight that'll give you all the warm, toasty feels. Guaranteed HEA with no cliffhangers.
