Spruce Path

After three grueling years at university, Hollie Cole is desperate for a quiet Christmas at Spruce Path Farm. No academic pressure, no relationship drama, just her own bed and long rides with her horse. Most of all, she wants to get over the boy who shattered her heart last summer.

Then she meets Nick Meyer, the handsome cowboy boarding his horse at her farm for the winter. He's helpful, kind, and impossible to ignore. Nick makes her question everything she thought she wanted, but Hollie isn't ready to risk her heart again.

When her past crashes back into her life, threatening to derail everything she's worked for, Hollie faces a choice: fight for the future she's always planned, or take a chance on the one she never saw coming. But running has always been easier than staying—will she risk it all for love, or lose her shot at happiness before it even begins?
