Reindeer Wrangler

Tessa Mitchell never meant to start a business. She just can't resist a dare.

One girls' night, too many martinis, and one big mouth later, she promised the entire town she could turn her herd of mischievous miniature horses into a sleigh team for the Christmas parade. Evergreen Springs placed its bets. Most people wagered on her failure. And Tessa? She staked her pride on proving she's not the queen of the half-finished plan everyone thinks she is.

Trouble is that the minis would rather raid cookie trays and bolt through downtown than pull a sleigh. Tessa is up to her neck in jingling chaos when a Christmas card drops out of her hay loft and a cowboy from 1878 along with it.

Cade Sullivan appears in her barn, Stetson tipped low and eyes full of bewilderment. Calm, capable, quietly handsome, he has the kind of steady strength her unruly horses and her restless heart recognize.

Tessa doesn't believe in magic. Or time travel. Or men who show up just when you need them most. But this Christmas, one reckless dare might deliver the greatest gift of all—love that lasts.
