He’s the billionaire businessman everyone loves to hate. Can a cheerful cowgirl turn the single dad’s frown upside down in time for Christmas?
Sebastian Radcliffe can’t wait to move to Trinity Falls with his son. His happy memories of summers with his grandfather in the familiar countryside sustained him through years of hard work in the city after losing his wife. But when they arrive at last, he discovers that the whole town resents him for buying up so much land. If Trinity Falls is the perfect Christmas village, Radcliffe might as well be its Scrooge. Emma Williams loves her family’s homestead so much that she couldn’t bear to leave it after high school. Caring for the beloved horses and working with her older brothers on the rambling acres still makes her excited to get up every single morning. But when the family farm is in trouble just before the holidays, and Radcliffe makes her a job offer she can’t refuse, Emma finds herself working for the enemy. Now Radcliffe’s lonely, ten-year-old son provides the only bright spot in her days as she navigates her new situation, and tries desperately to convince the rancher to change his ways. But sometimes it feels like the most difficult thing she has to do is resist wayward thoughts about her shockingly handsome employer. The smoldering way Radcliffe looks at her, the rapt way he listens to her, and the obvious abandon with which he loves his son are all making it harder and harder for her to remember that he’s hurting her community. Their attraction may be overwhelming, but that doesn’t mean Radcliffe will ever allow himself to pursue the younger woman, or that Emma will open her heart to the city man her whole town loves to hate. Especially when she learns about his latest plan… |
