Lauren Cohen was born with a round face, wide blue eyes, slightly chubby cheeks, stick-thin body, and short stature. Maybe that's why she's 24 and still forever single.
So she's ecstatic when she finally has a shot with her cute coworker at her hometown's quirkiest holiday confectionery. She's liked Austin from the moment she began training at the bakery, and he's the perfect guy to talk to- he's super nice, likes to write just like Lauren, and best of all- actually seems to enjoy talking with her.
Then she finds out that he's been given a great professional opportunity and may be moving out to Cincinnati in two short weeks...if he accepts the position. Now Lauren's at crunch time to land not just a friendship, but maybe a relationship as well.
Will she get the Christmas miracle she's hoping for?

"Does he know your name?" "Nope," I shook my head. "But hey, it was like love at first sight," I said dreamily before snapping back to reality and looking at my best friend who gave me a weird look. "You have to help me," I said. "We're not going to the clothes store with me disguised as a girl again." "No," I groaned. "I want you to help me get him to notice me." My best friend's mouth opened then closed again before his eyes dropped to my boobs, "I mean, we can always start with that." "What? No!" I crossed my arms over my chest while he laughed like the idiot he was and I rolled my eyes, then let out a breath, "Come on, just do this for your Firefly." ▬▬▬▬▬ There was only one reason Renée McCann enjoyed her job at the bakery.
