Publisher Description
A small-town mayor’s search for a new Santa yields a handsome surprise in this heartwarming holiday romance by a New York Times bestseller.
Returning to Branding Iron, Texas, is Travis Morgan’s last resort, and the abandoned ranch he inherited isn’t much more welcoming than the prison cell where he spent the last three years doing time for a tragic accident. Completely without funds or family, Travis finds celebrating Christmas is the last thing on his mind, but there’s no escaping the holiday spirit in this close-knit little town—not with Branding Iron’s longtime Santa retiring, and sweetly stubborn Mayor Maggie Delaney determined to find a replacement. When her no-nonsense façade slips to reveal the sensual, vulnerable woman beneath it, Travis realizes Maggie just might be as lonely as he is—and that this holiday season, love could be the gift that heals them both.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
There is nothing romantic about this gloomy holiday tale. When former cop Travis Morgan returns to Branding Iron, Tex., after serving three years in prison, the only thing he expects to get is solitude on his run-down family ranch. Mayor Maggie Delaney finds out the town's Santa is retiring and sets out on a mission to replace him with only six weeks left before Christmas. She thinks Travis's father, Hank, will be the perfect replacement, but Hank refuses to take the job unless Travis forgives him for a mistake from long ago. Prison has made Travis bitter, so when Maggie tries to get the two men to reconcile, all of her efforts are met with resistance. It's obvious that Travis and Maggie are physically attracted to each other, but with no real conversations or time spent together, readers will wonder how they fall in love. The relationship is as nonexistent as the holiday cheer, and the character development is just as bland as the love story.
