Santa and Anna Christmas Cookie Crash

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. A harried single-mom baker. A lost soul playing Santa. A Christmas Eve crash neither saw coming.

When enterprising baker-to-the-stars Anna bumps into an infuriatingly and possibly, maybe, slightly handsome Santa, their accidental meeting is hardly cute. Crumbs fly, tempers flare, and dreams deflate like a falling soufflé as Anna races to fix the orders for her VIP clients—including a potential investor for her second shop.

More than anything, James just wants to get to the children’s hospital Christmas party to fulfill a longtime promise and make it through his Santa gig without his defensive walls crumbling.

As the clock ticks toward the investors’ Christmas Eve gala, an afternoon together in the tiny, is-it-hot-in-here-or-is-it-me back room of Anna's bakery with James reveals more in common than delicious chemistry.

Over a single day, Anna and James begin to heal deep wounds, but emotional scars weigh heavy. Can two strangers who have sworn off relationships find the courage to unwrap the gift of a second chance?

Sprinkled with humor and dusted with spice, this contemporary holiday romance novel delivers cozy vibes and a touch of Christmas magic. Smart, funny, tender, and quietly sexy, this heartfelt, character-driven story is a slice-of-life treat.
