Three delicious and decadent stories are ready for you to devour.
Christmas Sweets
By: Shannon O’Connor
If there’s one thing you should know about Lauren is she hates the holiday season almost as much as she loves baking. She owns and runs her own bakery, she doesn’t have time for Holiday nonsense or relationships.
If there’s two things you should know about Charlie are she loves Christmas and she’s a walking cliché. So what happens when Charlie walks into Lauren’s bakery and sparks fly? Charlie challenges Lauren to believe in the magic of Christmas with her, and surprisingly (even to herself) Lauren agrees.
Could this be the work of a Christmas Cupid or will this holiday romance fizzle out before the cakes are done baking?
