Holiday Horseman

Fiona Walker's world runs on carefully planned schedules, color-coded charts, and the kind of precision that keeps her autistic son Jamie happy and her multiple jobs manageable. What it doesn't include is room for a gentle-eyed cowboy who appears like clockwork whenever her perfectly ordered life starts to unravel.

Rhett seems to understand Jamie's needs better than anyone, even Fiona herself sometimes. His old-fashioned patience and storytelling magic turn meltdowns into moments of wonder, and suddenly Christmas doesn't feel quite so overwhelming. But Fiona's learned that depending on others is a luxury single mothers can't afford.

When she discovers the vintage Christmas card that somehow summoned this impossible man into their lives, Fiona faces a choice that could change everything. With Christmas lights twinkling like stars and her son's laughter filling their small apartment for the first time in months, she must decide. Is protecting her heart worth denying Jamie the father he's never had?

In Evergreen Springs, where snow falls like blessings and cowboys appear when you need them most, the greatest magic isn't in the cards, it's in learning to trust again.Family isn't just about who you're born to, it's about who chooses to stay.
