The Cowboy Cookie Challenge cover

In a heartwarming tale, The Cowboy Cookie Challenge explores the budding romance between a love-shy nurse and a charming cowboy amid a holiday baking competition.

In The Cowboy Cookie Challenge, bestselling author Lori Wilde takes readers back to the charming town of Twilight, Texas, where love is just as sweet as the holiday treats. The story revolves around Jazzy Walker, a love-shy nurse who finds herself in a fierce competition for the annual Christmas Cookie Bake-off. With the stakes high and her confidence low, Jazzy is determined to win the contest, especially with her past heartbreak looming over her. Enter Roan Sullivan, a sexy, single dad and recent winner of a popular cooking show, who becomes an unexpected ally in Jazzy's quest for cookie glory.

Roan, a widower with a young daughter, initially hesitates to get involved. He has his own reasons for wanting to keep his distance from Jazzy, believing she deserves someone far better than a man burdened by his past. However, as they work together in the kitchen, the chemistry between them becomes undeniable. Jazzy's kindness and optimism begin to chip away at Roan's defenses, making him question if he can truly open his heart again.

As the bake-off approaches and the holiday spirit fills the air, the competition intensifies, but so does the connection between Jazzy and Roan. The Cowboy Cookie Challenge is a delightful tale of love, healing, and the magic of second chances, reminding readers that sometimes the sweetest moments come from unexpected places.
