She gives the thirteenth cookie for grace. He wants to know why.
Evelyn Hart's Christmas cookies are legendary in the mountain town of Pine Haven. Every customer receives a baker's dozen-twelve perfect cookies plus one extra, wrapped separately with a simple card: The twelfth cookie, for the sake of Christ. But Evelyn never explains why.
When big-city journalist Daniel Cross arrives to write a human-interest piece about small-town Christmas traditions, he expects a feel-good story about holiday generosity. What he doesn't expect is the guarded baker with sad eyes who refuses to be interviewed, or the way his heart stumbles every time she smiles.
As Daniel digs deeper, he discovers that Evelyn's tradition isn't just about generosity-it's about penance. Twelve years ago, she made a devastating choice that cost someone everything. The thirteenth cookie represents the grace she received but has never been able to accept for herself.
Now Daniel must decide: publish the redemptive story that could launch his career, or protect the woman he's falling in love with from a past she's still trying to outrun.
In a season of hope and second chances, two wounded hearts will discover that grace isn't something you earn-it's something you receive, one cookie at a time.
Perfect for fans of faith-filled romance, Christmas miracles, and stories of redemption that warm the heart and renew the soul.
