Sweets and Santa

Christmas mystery, magic, and matchmaking.

It's Joanie's first Christmas as a bakery owner, and although her recipes are perfect, her holiday window decorating skills leave something to be desired.

As items around town disappear, the spirit of the season gets overshadowed. Rumors swirl as residents speculate whodunnit. And when one of the missing pieces is an engagement ring last seen in her shop, Joanie's reputation as a baker and matchmaker is put in jeopardy.

Joanie thought her new town was safe, but is it? Is it all a prank, or tied to the Christmas gnomes that get moved each night, or is something more sinister going on?

Will Christmas magic be on her side, allowing Joanie to find the ring and win over Heartwood Hollow with her cookies? Or will her efforts for a sweet holiday season for all turn sour?

Sweets and Santa is a paranormal Christmas cozy mystery novella. It and the rest of The Matchmaking Baker series can be read in any order before, during, or after reading The Matchmaker's Grimoire series.
