Widower Andy Hartmann is determined to win the heart of Desiree McLintock, the most fiercely independent woman in Wagon Train, Montana. Andy wasn’t looking for a relationship, but close contact with the sexy lady lights a fire under him. When a rival plans a Christmas visit to Rowdy Ranch, Andy makes his move.

 

As a child, Desiree had to fend for herself. That harsh lesson convinced her to raise her kids and build a career writing bestselling Westerns without depending on anyone, especially a man. Although she’s strongly attracted to Andy’s cowboy traits — he’s trustworthy, steadfast, and dependable — she insists she doesn’t need him. Until that begins to change. And she panics.

 

Will the magic of Christmas heal her heart when she’s afraid to fall in love?
