Grace doesn't want a lot for Christmas ...

When it comes to relationships, Grace isn't hoping for any mistletoe miracles. Instead of asking Santa for yet another disappointing date, her list would have only one item: to be a mom ... a lifetime goal that she put on hold after being kicked out of her biological family for being transgender.

There is just one thing she needs.

But Grace's plans to avoid heartbreak are shattered when she meets Alex, her best friend's ridiculously hot and painfully arrogant brother who's more interested in moneymaking than merrymaking. Their unexpected connection heats alongside her grandmother's famous caramel apple pie ... until reality sets in as the New Year approaches and Alex's prestigious promotion across the country beckons.

Will her Christmas wish come true?

Or will their fledgling feelings spoil like forgotten eggnog?

“Peppermint Bark, No Bite,” is a romantic, funny, heartwarming journey about staying true to yourself and finding your own family, especially when you need one you weren't born into.
