Publisher Description
He's always been the black sheep of the family—the troublemaker. But in this heartwarming Christmas romance, the prodigal cowboy returns for a Texas-sized last chance at redemption.
Rodeo bullfighter Hank Brookman was headed straight for the top. But after a single misstep resulted in devastating injury, he disappeared under a mountain of regrets. Now he's back, ready to face the loved ones he left behind—starting with the one girl his heart could never forget.
When Hank stormed out of their small Texas town, he left Grace McKenna picking up the pieces…and struggling with a secret that changed everything. He may be back looking for redemption, but after everything they've been through, how can she admit what he really walked away from all those years ago?
Hank always knew persuading Grace to trust him again would be a tall order. Convincing her they deserve a happily ever after? That may take a Texas-sized Christmas miracle.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Dell (Fearless in Texas) skillfully continues her contemporary Western Texas Rodeo series with an able take on one of romance's most enduring tropes: a secret baby. Hank Brookman left Earnest, Tex., as a cocky bullfighter determined to set the rodeo world on fire until one mistake destroyed his career and sent him into an emotional spiral he almost couldn't pull out of. Hometown girl Grace McKenna has always loved Hank, even if he only saw her as a friend. But after a one-night stand with him leaves her pregnant, she heads to Oregon, where a lesbian couple adopts her baby. Now an athletic trainer at the Earnest high school, Grace is relatively happy until Hank comes back to town and she is forced to reveal her secret. Dell's expertise in the rodeo and ranching worlds shines through, providing authenticity and a colorful background. A subplot involving Hank's estranged, crotchety father and the intriguing, plain-spoken Native American woman who helped Hank rebuild his life add satisfying depth. With only a smattering of Christmas window dressing, this touching tale of redemption and forgiveness immerses readers in a world they won't want to leave.
