Christmas at Cold Canyon Ranch

When nurse Hannah Calhoun accepts a live-in position at Cold Canyon Ranch for the month of December, it’s not for the sweeping Montana views but to care for Clyde Campbell as his health declines. Practical and determined, Hannah has built her life on stability, not dreams. Her engagement to an older, dependable man isn’t romantic, but it promises the security her own childhood never had.

But stability is hard to hold onto when Lachlan Campbell is near.

Ruggedly handsome, sharp-witted, and every inch the Texas–Montana rancher, Lachlan has bristled at Hannah for years, never understanding her choices—or why the fact that she’s still with that ‘old guy’ ticks him off. Raised in the comfort and opportunity of a close ranching family, Lachlan can’t fathom the battles she’s fought… or the walls she’s built.

Thrown together under one roof, sparks fly, old resentments ignite, and unexpected tenderness breaks through. As snow blankets Paradise Valley, Hannah begins to question everything she thought she wanted… and Lachlan realizes the one woman he never understood may be the only one he can’t let go.
