The Christmas Gingerbread Blueprint
(2026)(The fifth book in the Christmas in Garland Falls series)
A Story by Olivia Sands
She has every gumdrop counted. He keeps changing the plans for all the right reasons.
Clara Finch has a plan for everything.
As a math teacher, she believes in labels, lists, and measurements that actually add up.
That is why she is the perfect person to run Garland Falls' life-size gingerbread village fundraiser.
If the event succeeds, the school gets the art room it desperately needs. If it fails, Clara will have to explain why her careful plan was not enough.
Miles Rowan is not against plans. The local cabinetmaker just knows when they need stronger supports.
Drafted to build the frames for Clara's gingerbread cottages, Miles keeps making changes she did not approve. Wider bases. Better braces. A few creative improvements that were definitely not in the spreadsheet.
Clara is convinced he does not respect her work.
Miles is quietly trying to keep the whole village from collapsing under frosting, candy roofs, and the enthusiastic hands of every child in town.
As gumdrops scatter, icing dries too fast, and the school gym fills with Christmas chaos, Clara begins to see that not every beautiful thing can be controlled.
And Miles discovers that the woman with the perfect blueprint might be the one person he wants to build something real with.
