Book excerpt: A widowed cowboy and a pregnant divorcée unwrap a second chance at love in this holiday romance by a New York Times–bestselling author. Ellie Marsden couldn’t wait to shake the dust of Branding Iron, Texas, off her heels and chase after bright lights, big city, and a wealthy husband.

Leave it to her one-time high school sweetheart, cattle rancher Jubal McFarland, to point out that citified Ellie is as out of place in small-town Texas as her teacup poodle. So why is there something about being back—and being with Jubal—that feels surprisingly right? Jubal’s eight-year-old daughter, Gracie, needs a mother, but he hasn’t found the perfect woman.
