A frozen writer, two men from her past, and one crumbling mansion that could change everything.

When AJ Banner left Roanoke, Oregon, she traded small-town comfort for the bustle of New York City and the dream of becoming a writer. Now, reeling from a recent breakup and frozen by the worst writer's block of her life, AJ returns home for the holidays hoping her family can boost her self-esteem in time to start her dream career at Verité magazine.

Enter Benson Miller, the childhood crush who shattered her confidence twelve years ago, and Skylar Townsend, the friend who was there to pick up the pieces. In a blizzard of awkward reunions, heroic snowstorm rescues, and the tug of old feelings, AJ flounders to overcome her insecurities before New Year's Eve. When she discovers that a beloved local landmark faces demolition, AJ sees her chance to prove herself as a journalist-but saving it means working closely with Skylar, making her feelings as vulnerable as her career.

With her dreams and her heart on the line, AJ must choose what to hold on to from her past, and what to finally let go.
Set in the Pacific Northwest in 2016, The Gingerbread House by debut author R.M. Whitaker is a heartwarming, slow-burn, sweet holiday romance about second chances, the power of community, and finding the courage to fight for what's worth keeping.
