I love the cheerful music, the fun sweaters, and the holiday lights. Most of all I love Christmas Cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A begrudging bake-off judge, I refuse to let grouchy billionaire Owen Frost hate Christmas. The man is overworked, his employees are uninspired, and his life is seriously lacking in Yuletide cheer. I want to stuff his stocking with sugary goodness to put him in a&nbsp;<em>very<\/em>&nbsp;festive mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I dressed up as a sexy elf and gave Owen a taste of something extra special. You should have seen his eyes roll back in his head when he bit into the perfect sugar cookie!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can&#8217;t let Owen Frost be a distraction. Things are insane enough without a sexy billionaire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My baking subscription service is in the death throes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My Christmas-ruining step sister is trying to sabotage me in the bake-off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m being stalked by elves on the shelf come to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok that last one is a little weird, but welcome to my disaster of a life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I need to win&nbsp;<em>The Great Christmas Bake-Off<\/em>&nbsp;to pay of my debts and launch my baking career. Sleeping with one of the judges is going to ruin my chance for a merry Christmas. Owen with his washboard abs and big Christmas package is a bad idea. It&#8217;s best to keep that all wrapped under the tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when he said in that deep, sexy voice, &#8220;Can I have another taste of your Christmas cookies?&#8221; Well, let&#8217;s just say I&#8217;m unwrapping one particular Christmas present early!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tasting Her Christmas Cookies<\/em><em>&nbsp;is a standalone holiday romantic comedy.
