Yuletide Cookies

Eliza Foster is one burnt cookie away from a full-blown holiday meltdown.

The Foster Family Bakery has been the beating heart of Evergreen Springs for six generations, but this Christmas, it's on life support. Orders have dried up, her mixer just gave up the ghost, and the too-perfect competitor across the street is snatching every last customer. Eliza's been holding it together with frosting and grit, but even sugar has its limits.

Then, while searching for a special recipe, she finds a glowing Christmas card among her late grandmother's things. One with a hand-painted cowboy and a whisper of old magic. On a desperate holiday wish, she asks for help...

...and gets Wyatt McCready.

A trail cook from 1878, Wyatt has strong opinions about biscuits, a soft spot for cookies, and the kind of slow, steady charm that melts Eliza's carefully guarded heart. His sourdough starter never fails. His pies are perfection. And when he smiles at her like she's the only star in the sky? That's magic too.

The clock is ticking, the cookies are baking, and Christmas magic only lasts so long. If Eliza wants to keep Wyatt, and the love they've discovered, she'll need more than sugar and spice. She'll need a Christmas miracle.
