The Maverick's Midnight Proposal

Should Old Acquaintance Be Forgot?

Sighting confirmed! That handsome, brooding cowboy about town is Luke Stockton—Rust Creek Falls's long-lost son. It's been over a decade since his parents' tragic death…and Luke's sudden departure. Our guess is he's here to reconnect with his estranged siblings. Why, then, is Luke spending so much time at Daisy's Donut Shop? The coffee's great but…

Perhaps beautiful baker Eva Armstrong has him in her thrall! Careful, Eva, you've had enough heartbreak. Despite the sizzling kisses, Luke isn't the marrying kind. Still, we encourage a little mistletoe mischief…after all, Christmas is the season of love. Perhaps Luke and Eva will "ring" in the New Year together. Get it? All we want for Christmas is a happily-ever-after!
