The Christmas Cookie House
Book 1 of the Christmas House Romances series
155 pages · First published 2019
A Christmas cookie house becomes the center of a holiday romance in which baking, community festivities, and an unexpected relationship disrupt carefully made seasonal plans. The heroine’s practical goals repeatedly collide with the demands of family and the presence of a man who does not fit neatly into the future she imagined. Working together during the busiest part of the Christmas season allows affection to grow through ordinary acts rather than instant certainty. Jennifer Griffith’s sweet holiday romance uses cookies, festive competition, and small-town atmosphere to create a light story about love arriving amid holiday chaos.
