A sweet tale of a woman who is famous for her cookies, the handsome new mercantile owner who doesn't care for molasses, and the way they come together just in time for Christmas.

E.E. How did you come up with the idea for your story? 

Marie: Well, I started by thinking about cookies. (A lovely place to start anything, I think!) Molasses cookies are my all-time favorite, and I got to thinking about cowboys and molasses and... boom. My story took off on its own!

E.E.: What is your hero's best quality? 
Marie: He's a good-hearted man, and always lightens the mood. 

E.E.: What drew your hero/heroine together and made them fall in love? 
Marie: After the initial physical attraction, I think Josephine and James are two of the same kind of people - hard-working and focused on doing what needs to be done, but also ready to fall in love. And they get to - with each other!

CHERYL PIERSON

E.E.: How did you come up with the idea for your story?

Cheryl: I had started another short story for this collection, THE DEVIL AND MISS JULIA JACKSON,  that took on a life of its own and became "more" than a short story. As I was researching names for characters, I came across Kalliroe, and loved it. I knew I had to find the perfect character--and Kalli was born. Half Cherokee, half Irish, raised in the Cherokee way completely from age 5 until age 13 when she was sent to a white boarding/finishing school back East--she's a blend of many things!

E.E.: What is your hero's best quality?

Cheryl: My hero is Shiloh Barrett. He's the middle son who has left home as a Texas Ranger, but always does the right thing--except Kidnapping Kalli--which, he sees as wrong--though it was done for the right reasons. He struggles within himself to do right, even when it might not be what HE wants to do. He's truly a good man, but he must live in a rough, dangerous world--and he protects what's his.

E.E.: What drew your hero/heroine together and made them fall in love?

Cheryl: A snake bite and a kidnapping. When Shiloh kidnaps Kalli to return her to her father, he steps on a rattler in the darkness, miles from nowhere, with his kidnap-ee the only person he has with him. Will she leave him there to die? Will she stay? I think Kalli sees from the moment he takes her that he means her no harm, and in her own heart, she can't leave him to die. So it gives them time together in a more intimate setting than they might otherwise have ever had.

E.E.: How did you come up with the idea for your story?

Stacey: I like to read and write stories about secrets and surprises, and the idea of a young cowboy playing Santa to surprise the girl of his dreams popped into my head. What starts as an agreement to make money ends up warming his heart in more than one way.

E.E.: What is your hero’s best quality?

Stacey: Grady has many good qualities. His determination to reach a goal, his willingness to work hard and persevere, and his kindness, to name a few.

E.E.: What drew your hero/heroine together and made them fall in love?

Stacey: Their love and respect for ranch life bring them together. Understanding that a person’s station in life doesn’t matter, but what’s in his or heart is most important—that realization allows them to fall in love.

SARA MCNEAL

E.E.: How did you come up with the idea for your story?

Sara: I loved the idea of a long lost love returning to declare his love—but a little hitch may end his intentions--why in the world would she want him back after 2 years of silence? 

E.E.: What is your hero's best quality?

Sara: Sterling Thoroughgood has 2 excellent qualities: unyielding determination and a sense of humor.

E.E.: What drew your hero/heroine together and made them fall in love?

Sara: When Sterling worked for Matilda’s father, she realized, not only was he handsome, but he was hardworking, determined, and yet gentle and generous. Sterling admired Matilda’s strong and independent nature even back when they weren’t much more than kids. Besides her beauty, she was kind, loved animals, and was a great cook. He fell in love with her his first day on the ranch.
