Holiday’s Cookies by C.M. Steele

James Snow just came to get some peace and quiet in a small town away from New York City so he could finish his latest novel and make his deadline. What he didn’t expect to find was Christmas Town, USA. Holly Hills should have given it away, but it’s like the North Pole’s twin sister, and he just doesn’t have time for it.
At least, that is, until he opens the ever-chiming door to find a special greeting.
Holiday Belle just loves Christmas and cookies. It’s why she owns the town’s only bakery. Holiday’s new neighbor has just moved in, and according to the word around town, he’s grumpy. She just wanted to spread her Christmas cheer with some of her famous cookies. To her surprise, Mr. Crankypants was cranky, but he wasn’t wearing pants…just a towel…a small towel…that she couldn’t stop staring at until he took the cookies and slammed the door in her face.

Wanting the ground to swallow her up from embarrassment, she hopes to never see him again, but how can she be that lucky? They’re neighbors.
