I just finished the third batch of the first type of Christmas cookie I make every year, Cappuccino Crinkles. One of my favorite. Hubby is annoyed with me, he tells me I always overdo it with baking each year. He has graciously offered to help me get those numbers down. That’s when I introduced him to my new favorite kitchen tool, the fly swatter. Much easier to handle than the traditional rolling pin. Next up is the second most tedious cookie to make, Date pinwheels. Usually when I make them I question if they are worth it, but after I take that first bite into one, I realize I should have made more. I often question if I want to share them at all. Sometimes I don’t.

Destiny isn’t a thing in her world. Smooth-talking strangers need not apply…
Navy Veteran Caleb Hardy is determined to atone for past mistakes by helping the old woman whose letters got him through his last deployment. When he and his band of brothers drop into her quirky, dying Texas town, only one thing stands in the way of his redemption.

Superstition Springs native Havana Nixon is convinced letting a big developer into their tiny Texas oasis is the only way to save the town and she’s not about to let a newcomer–no matter how gorgeous–derail her plans. Especially after her aunt tosses out one of her famous “love predictions” matching her with Caleb, also known as the most disturbing man on the planet.

Havana and Caleb can’t even compromise, let alone admit they’re falling for each other… or does one lead to the other?

Small town military heroes–all swoon, no steam

Welcome to Superstition Springs, the place where destiny is the ultimate matchmaker. All you have to do is believe.
