Christmas Cookies. Believe, #7

From the halls of college to the cramped quarters of his SUV, Cooper Taylor's life took a drastic detour into homelessness that left him with two young kids, seeking refuge in the brutal North Dakota winter. He had only sought help from soup kitchens and shelters for one reason - to keep his kids safe and warm. But amid the despair, he didn't anticipate encountering a beacon of genuine kindness. Tony Moore, a spirited baker with an innate love for Christmas, reveled in the joy of crafting cookies infused with holiday cheer.
He leaped at the opportunity to share this delightful tradition, convincing the local soup kitchens, shelters, and community centers to allow him to host Christmas cookie-decorating sessions for the children, all hoping to illuminate their lives with some festive merriment. Little did he know, this simple act of charity was about to flip his world upside down. An unexpected offer from Tony presented Cooper with the golden opportunity he desperately needed - a job where his kids could stay in the bakery while he worked.
Eager to regain his footing and provide for his family, he seized the chance. But what caught him off guard was the undeniable attraction he felt for Tony, the charismatic baker who not only showed interest in him but showered his children with warmth. However, gnawing guilt ate at Cooper - would accepting Tony's help be seen as taking undue advantage of his kind-hearted nature?Would Cooper allow their budding relationship to flourish? Or will Tony need to muster all his charm to prove they're truly meant for each other? Only time will tell.
