About this listen
Lights on a frozen waterfall. A cozy fireplace. Carrying a torch for the single-dad.
Captain Beau Cabot can’t keep a nanny. It isn’t that his kids are bad, it’s that the helpers he hires won’t believe that the only needs they should take care of are the children’s.Speech therapist Sophie Hawkins loves her niece and nephew. Despite Sophie’s lifelong, unwise crush on Beau, Sophie races to Sugarplum Falls when she hears of Beau’s needs. Someone has to care for the two cutest kids in the world this holiday!
Beau knows not to fall for the nanny, no matter how perfectly nurturing and healing she is to his kids—and to him—and that she might be just the glue needed to put his family back together.
Publisher’s Note: All stories in the Sugarplum Falls Romance series are clean, standalone holiday romances. They’re arranged in a loop. Book 1 introduces characters from book 2, and so forth, until Christmas at Gingerbread Inn loops back to Christmas at Holly Berry Cottage. This means readers can begin at any point in the series and then complete the loop to fall in love over and over, while meeting the many recurring characters from the familiar and charming small town of Sugarplum Falls.

Story
Living in a year around Christmas town has its drawbacks. The caroling, the decorations, the insanely cheery spirit, it never disappears. It's why I like to hibernate away in my cave - I mean housekeeping a healthy distance from the holly jolly spirits. And all was going according to plan until my nemesis, Storee Taylor, moved in next door to care for her Aunt Cindy. Without blinking, she turned my simple world into a real nightmare-before-Christmas, especially when she decided to enter the town Christmas Kringle contest - which she was determined to win.

His grandmother isn’t able to finish the book and Dov promised he’d complete it so fans won’t be disappointed—a task that’s harder than he ever imagined.

Story
All newly minted pediatrician Jamie Malek wants is to borrow a roasting pan for Christmas dinner. Unfortunately, that requires her to interact with Marc—her best friend’s troublemaking brother, who’s now a tech billionaire. He’s the one who got away. She’s the one who broke his heart. Outside, a howling blizzard. Inside, a crackling fire. Suddenly, being snowbound with the man she never expected to see again might not be such a bad way to spend a winter’s night.

They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.
