I have one job as a nanny—watch the kiddos while their parents attend a fancy celebrity wedding at a remote ski lodge. What I don’t expect is to go on a candy finding mission and run smack into famous country singer Hutton Calder—a scorching hot single dad. And my old hall pass. When an early snowstorm strands us together, I find myself playing hostess to America's most eligible bachelor and his adorable five-year-old son. I try to play it cool, but there’s no ignoring the smokin’ hot chemistry between us as we bake dozens of sugar cookies to make his son’s holiday memorable. Hutton proves to be more than just his public persona—kind, thoughtful, and surprisingly down-to-earth. As we dig out from the snow, Hutton not only stays with me longer, he boosts my confidence and encourages my artistic dreams, all while charming the entire town of Snowhaven with his impromptu Santa appearances and involvement in the local Christmas festivities. But as Hutton's presence in town draws unwanted attention, including from my nosy ex-husband, I have to navigate small-town gossip, growing feelings, and the fear of losing my heart to the man who has no plans on staying past Christmas. With Christmas approaching, I face my biggest challenge convincing Hutton that the magic of small-town life is exactly what he and his son need. Author’s Sugar Nookie is a sweet and steamy romance, set against the backdrop of a picturesque winter wonderland, where small town magic meets big time celebrity. If you like snowed-in escapades, spicy banter under the Christmas tree, sinfully sweet single dads, nosy townsfolk, celebrity crushes strumming their guitar by the crackling fire, and sugar nookies—ahem, sugar cookies—this is the holiday romance for you! Sometimes the best Christmas gifts are the ones you never knew you needed…
