The Wintergreen Village Series

The Kristmas Project

Kristmas Noel Holly was born in December. Her parents hated everything about the season, so why had they named her after Christmas? Kris’s childhood memories were not filled with peace and joy, more of dread. She’s ecstatic when an invitation arrives to a prestigious conference in Germany for the first week of December. Her salvation to avoid the festivities.

Nicholas Joseph Holladay loves the season, every decorated tree, carol, and Hallmark movie. Nick’s idea of a perfect Christmas for his daughter doesn’t include a business trip. He loves his job ten months out of the year, so he’ll accompany Kris. He hopes to remedy Kris’s holiday workaholic tendencies by rekindling the special magic of the season for her. He plans to take Kris to the famous holiday markets and show her how much she misses while working.

Will his plan succeed, or will he ruin their working relationship?  

The Holiday Cooking Club

Pre-Order now! Release date Oct. 14, 2025
Stefani Halladay can’t remember a time when she didn’t want to be a world-famous chef. Studying at the Culinary Institute of America in New York City is a dream come true. After that, the rest of her dreams are simple. Own a restaurant and to win the James Beard Award, the academy award of the culinary arts. The first one she’d accomplished and after struggling the first year, the Bistro was slowly making a name for itself. Her dreams were coming true, and she could almost taste the victory of winning the award. The nightmare was her nemesis, Grayson Moore, who is the head chef in a five-star restaurant and poised to steal the award away from her. Well, her Bistro may be small, but it would be a five-star also.

Grayson met Stefani at the Institute where they became very competitive. So much so that their classmates bet on who would make the best entrée or dessert. It had been fun and friendly, or so he thought. When a restaurant recruits him for their Chicago location he’s thrilled, until he finds out that Stefani considers him her nemesis and direct competition. He isn’t sure how to change her mind, or if he even should.

When he has the audacity to join her Holiday Cooking Club, things really heat up.
