A Cowboy in Her Stocking

Christmas is the perfect time for romance with a cowboy! Enjoy this holiday novella from Harlequin American Romance

When Talia Ardmore inherits her family's run-down ranch in Blue Falls, Texas, all she wants is to sell the place and get back to the life she's made for herself in California. But then she hires her high school crush Jake Monroe to fix up the house, and now she can't help dreaming of what might have been.

Jake's happy to see Talia, but he's hurt she never told him why she ran away all those years ago. Still, with Christmas on the way and his daughter Mia's medical bills piling up, the widowed rancher can use the extra work. The last thing he expects is for Talia to ignite a fire in him that he thought had gone out forever….

It's not long before Talia's head over heels for Jake—and his little girl. But Talia must face her past before they can both receive the gift of a future together and a lifetime of happy holiday seasons.
