'Tis the Gingerbread Season
(2024)(A book in the Christmas Kisses & Cookie Crumbs series)
A Story by Monique Brasher
Coming home for the holidays was never part of the plan, but sometimes the sweetest path is the one you never expected to take.Laila
You know how they say, ‘Follow the trail to your heart’? In my case, that trail leads straight to gingerbread cookies, enchanted snowflakes, and a lot of complicated feelings. I’m back in Enchanted Hollow. Home.
When I’m forced to work side by side with Holden on the Gingerbread Trail event for the Christmas market, there’s more than just typical town magic at play. There are sparks that could ignite a whole holiday fireworks show between us..
Every time we’re together, it’s like the world shifts and the magic of this little town pushes us a little closer together. But that’s just it—magic. And if I’ve learned anything, it’s that magic always comes with its own set of rules.
I’ve felt lost for so long, I can’t help but wonder if maybe this time I should stop running away. Maybe Holden is the fairy tale trail I should have been following all along.
Holden
I’ve spent years avoiding the spotlight, keeping my distance from everything that could turn my life into a soap opera. I’ve got my family to care for, my bakery to run, and a lot of responsibility. But Laila? She’s different.
Every time she comes back here, even if it’s just for a weekend, I��m like a moth to a flame. And this time is no different. If anything, there’s something more. There’s something about the way the gingerbread houses glow in the distance, the way the wind whispers secrets, that has me questioning why I haven’t fought to keep her here–with me–where she belongs.
She may insist we can be more than friends for a weekend, but that ending hasn’t worked out so far. Maybe it’s time to choose a different path—and step into the mysterious unknown--so we can truly experience some magic.
'Tis the Gingerbread Season is a closed door, rom-com retelling of Hansel & Gretel with magical elements and sizzling kisses! While it is technically a standalone (short) romance, it is advised to read stories within the Enchanted Hollow romance series in order to get the most enjoyment from this story.
