Book excerpt: "The last thing she wanted for Christmas was a cowboy...Single mom Christie Buchanan has big plans to make this Christmas the best Christmas ever for her six-year-old daughter Carrie Anne. To do that, she needs money and the only way she can figure out how to get it is to win the "Best Gingerbread House in Texas Contest." When her boss offers to watch Carrie Anne at his ranch in the afternoons so Christie has baking time, she accepts--even though Cord Evans is a hot rodeo bum like Carrie Anne's deadbeat dad who left them high 'n' dry. But Christie is not falling for another immature wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am cowboy...at least that's what she thinks until one wintry night when Cord teaches her the difference between a boy and a man. Cord Evans is a six-time world rodeo champion who has made plenty of mistakes. After getting thrown off a bull named Redemption and almost dying, he takes a serious look at his life and decides to make some changes--starting with moving to Bliss, Texas, so he can repair the relationship with his adult son. What he doesn't figure into his plan is a beautiful single mom and her cute sassy daughter. Determined to keep his focus on fixing his past mistakes and not making any new ones, Cord tries to keep his distance from Christie and Carrie Anne. But how can he stay away from a woman who smells like gingerbread and tastes like heaven and a little angel who melts his heart? It will take a miracle to get these two wounded souls together...luckily, it's the season of miracles. With a touch of Christmas magic, the little country town of Bliss might hear holiday wedding bells after all."--Page [4] of cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Twas the month before Christmas and the baker was bakin’, when in struts a cowboy her heart to be takin’. But because they’ve been enemies since they were five, Noelle fails to see the luvin’ glint in Casey’s eyes. It will take some fake dating, cute rescue pups, and a shocking virgin’s request before these two will hook-up. The townsfolk will exclaim as Noelle and Casey finally unite, “Happily-ever-afters to all and to all a big ol’ Texas goodnight!” Noelle Holiday is aptly named. She loves everything about Christmas—baking, decorating, and handing out cheer to everyone she meets. Spending the holidays in her hometown of Wilder, Texas, is going to make this Christmas even better . . . as long as she can avoid Casey Remington, the arrogant cowboy who bullied her all through school. But avoiding Casey becomes impossible when he shows up at the town bakery where she’s working and video booms her live post for her social media baking page, Holiday Kitchen. The post goes viral and soon #thebakerandthecowboyhero is all people can talk about. If Noelle wants to keep her social media success and realize her dream of owning her own bakery, she has no choice but to convince Casey to be her fake boyfriend. What harm could come from a few kisses beneath the mistletoe? Casey Remington enjoys the simple pleasures in life—ranching, sugary desserts, and warm, welcoming women with no expectations. After his daddy’s failed attempt at marriage, Casey has no desire to get in a serious relationship. But when his carefree, bachelor lifestyle is threatened, he’s forced to take drastic measures. And drastic is the only way to describe fake dating the last woman in the world he’d ever want to date. Noelle Holiday is not warm or welcoming. And talk about expectations, she makes him feel like the worst sort of loser. She’s been the bane of his existence since kindergarten. If she wasn’t throwing pencils at him and scarring him for life, she was tattling on him and getting him in trouble. And as it turns out, she’s still good at getting him in trouble. After only one kiss from her candy-cane red lips, there’s just one thing Casey wants for Christmas . . . to meet a cute little baker’s expectations and become her real-life cowboy hero.

Sweetheart Mae Holiday is the oldest of the six Holiday sisters—the one who carries the burden of continuing the family's ranching tradition. Except Sweetie doesn't want to be a rancher. She wants to be the next Dolly Parton. And she's going to achieve her dream come hell or high water...or the inability to sing her songs in front of a crowd. When her daddy suffers a heart attack, she heads home to Wilder. Before she even reaches the edge of town, she's pulled over by a sexy-but-grumpy sheriff who makes it clear she's not welcome. Since before she headed off to Nashville she broke his cousin's heart, she understands why Sheriff Decker Carson has a bone to pick. But no one tells Sweetie what she can and can't do. When she finds out her mama and daddy are losing the ranch, Sweetie decides to put her country music dreams on hold and stay to help save her beloved home—even if she has to take on a stubborn Texas lawman whose sizzling kisses make her start to wonder if she’s been following the wrong dream all along. Decker Carson has had a thing for Sweetie since first seeing her strut around the Holiday Ranch with her golden ponytail swinging and her eyes sparkling like a dew-drenched meadow. But he flat refuses to let his feelings show. Everyone in Wilder knows Sweetie has always been Jace’s girl. Jace is not only Decker’s cousin, but also the one who helped him get through the loss of both his parents. Decker is not about to break the no-kissing-cousin’s-girlfriends rule—even if Sweetie and Jace have been broken up for years. Unfortunately, when a scintillating rumor spreads through town and every cowboy in the county starts showing up on the Holiday’s front porch with flowers and marriage proposals, it’s Decker’s job as sheriff to untangle the mess. Which means spending a lot more time with the one woman he can’t resist . . . and the one girl he wants to make his own.

Cloe Holiday is practical enough to realize she isn't as pretty and talented as her five sisters and she's content standing in their shadows and cheering them on. Her dreams are small--help children overcome the speech impediments she had to deal with as a child, get an engagement ring from her longtime boyfriend, and have her wedding in the big red barn on her family's Texas ranch. But even small dreams can blow up in your face. Instead of a ring, she gets the boot. And now her family is about to lose everything. Not just their ranch, but also their home and the beloved barn . . . unless Cloe is willing to enter into a wild scheme with the son of her father's archenemy.
