Publisher Description
"Fans of Robyn Carr and RaeAnne Thayne will enjoy [Yates's] small-town romance."—Booklist
As the snow falls on Four Corners Ranch, all this untamed cowboy wants for Christmas is the family he’s never had…
Cowboy Wolf Garrett is delighted his brother is happily married—really, he is. But time can never heal Wolf’s own wounds, so being surrounded by such marital joy is a bit…much. A trip to his extended family’s ranch in Copper Ridge seems the ideal change of scenery. Until he meets local innkeeper Violet Donnelly and realizes he’s exchanged one form of torture for another—trying, and spectacularly failing, to resist their instant, wildly hot chemistry.
Violet knew Wolf was trouble the moment he walked into her inn. But it's a whole new level of trouble when she discovers that their secret nights have left her pregnant! Especially when she has six feet of gorgeous, furious cowboy demanding that she come home with him for the holidays and marry him. Wolf has lost more than she could ever imagine, but Violet believes in the power of love to heal, and she’ll do anything to give their future family a chance. Wolf has already given her so many firsts—dare she hope he’s about to become her first Christmas miracle too?

Four Corners Ranch
Book 1: Unbridled Cowboy
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bestseller Yates combines old-school romance tropes—cowboys, virgins, and unexpected pregnancies—in her solid if slightly dated-feeling second Four Corners Ranch contemporary romance (after Unbridled Cowboy). Cowboy Wolf Garrett, 32, would not usually go for innocent 22-year-old Violet Donnelly. Wolf's been the love-'em-and-leave-'em type ever since the death of his first love, but, not realizing Violet's inexperience, he sleeps with her while on a two-week visit to her small Oregon town. Violet knows from the start that Wolf's not big on commitment, and she doesn't mean to get attached—but she can't help herself. A month after Wolf returns to his ranch, Violet's still pining. Her crush becomes complicated, however, when she realizes she's pregnant. Having been abandoned by her mother as a child, Violet vows to be the best parent possible. When Wolf finds out, he's just as determined to be responsible, which he believes means marrying Violet. But can Violet stomach a purely practical marriage to the man she's grown to love? Yates is a master of crafting swaggering cowboy heroes and, though the gender roles here feel outmoded, she delivers all the explosive chemistry readers expect. Series fans will not be disappointed.
