CHRISTMAS
TOWN, TENNESSEE
Where
everyday dreams come true!
New
York Times and USA Today bestselling author Ginny Baird brings you
the start of a brand new holiday series…
THE
CHRISTMAS COOKIE SHOP
(Christmas
Town, Book 1)
Hannah
Winchester is down on her luck and disillusioned with love, but her
fortunes are about to change. When Hannah inherits a defunct bakery
in East Tennessee, her first thought is to sell it and settle her
substantial debt. Then the townsfolk welcome her warmly and she’s
taken with the joyful spirit of the place, where stores employ
holiday themes and residents have surnames like Christmas and Claus.
After a handsome lawman comes to her aid dressed as Santa, Hannah
learns he’s more than a hot guy in a red suit and shiny black
boots. Sheriff Carter Livingston has joined in the cause of
rejuvenating the town, and he’s encouraging her to do her part.
Hannah’s great-grandmother, Lena, sold special holiday cookies that
brought hope and renewal to the people of Christmas Town. Yet Hannah
has plans elsewhere and isn’t looking to stay. Can she possibly
reopen the shop known for kindling romance—without sacrificing her
heart?

Excerpt
He met
her eyes. “Hannah…?”
Her chin
tilted up toward his. “Yes, Carter?”
“You
going to be okay here? I can always call Sandy—”
“No,
please. Sandy’s already done enough. So have Lou and Kurt, and…”
She ducked her head with a blush. “You, Santa.”
“Kind
of funny meeting that way.” When she looked up he was grinning.
“Funny, but not bad—by any stretch.”
“No.
Not bad at all.”
Hannah
noticed his jacket slung over the back of the armchair and that he’d
set his hat on the table by the door. Carter lifted the jacket and
slipped into it, raising its zipper. “Might want to stick that bowl
of stew in the microwave for a minute or two.”
“I’ll
do that,” she said brightly.
He
ambled toward the door and placed his hat on his head, tapping it
down. His deep voice rumbled. “Kurt’s a good-looking guy.”
“Kurt?”
Hannah asked, flummoxed.
“Eligible
bachelor too.”
“Can’t
say I noticed.”
“No? I
thought I heard the two of you talking from the kitchen—”
“Sheriff.”
She stopped him. “I’m not interested in any man right now, okay?
And if I
were…”
Hannah swallowed hard past the lump in her throat.
“If
you were…?” he said, leading.
Hannah’s
heart hammered and her knees felt weak. “I told you, I’m just
passing through.”
“Odd
thing about that, Hannah.” He tipped his hat her way. “Nobody in
town seems to know that, but me.”
Then he
stepped out the door, shutting it soundly behind him.
