After a year of unexpected twists, Abigail finds herself in the small town of Sugarville Grove, Vermont, as the guardian of her late cousin’s two young children.

When commitment-allergic Knox Carey discovers an abandoned baby in a snowstorm in the middle of nowhere on a cold December night, he doesn’t think twice. He rescues the tiny girl and quickly realizes he needs help.
It’s a no-brainer to call Dr. Ramona Taylor—the closest thing to a hospital in Cowboy Point. Sure, they broke up. More than once. And she was clear on what she thought about his emotional constipation, but Knox bets that while she might want to set him on fire—and not in a fun way—the baby will inspire her to keep the lighter fluid at bay.
Not necessarily. Knox ripped out Romona’s heart. It’s as simple as that, but her medical training won’t allow her to do anything but help. Still, seeing the man she once loved enough to dream of forever with a baby in his arms? It kills her. Worse, she’s trapped with him during a raging snowstorm, living a dream version of the life she knows she can never have.
But it’s Christmas in Cowboy Point—maybe miracles might just happen after all…

A burned-out ranch. A ticking clock. And one cowboy who just might be her last chance—or her greatest heartbreak.
Stephanie Gilroy never expected to inherit Starling Hollow, especially not just days before Christmas. With the ranch in shambles and a ruthless developer circling like a vulture, she’s running out of time and options. The will is clear—sell by New Year’s Eve or forfeit everything.
Enter Nate Brenner: a rugged, quietly loyal cowboy who’s stayed behind to care for the land, the livestock, and the legacy. He’s everything Stephanie didn’t plan for—gritty, grounded, and far too good at seeing past her defenses.
As winter storms threaten, old family wounds surface, and the pressure to sell mounts, Stephanie must decide what’s worth saving: her future, her heart, or the ranch her uncle built with his bare hands.
But Nate has a secret plan of his own—and it might just be the miracle Stephanie needs.

Former barrel racer Riley Garrett is a sixth-generation Texan and a lifelong cowgirl. She’s kicked the unfortunate blip of her failed wedding into the dust, is happy running her family’s ranch, and prospering in more ways than one. So when a smooth-talking, far too handsome outsider unexpectedly arrives in Last Stand during the holidays full of starry schemes he says will help her family and ranch along with the town, Riley’s beyond skeptical.
Producer Miles Flint is a Hollywood success by any measure, even though his biggest hit imploded when his star quit to build a new life with his young son in a small town in Texas.

It’s not the typical Christmas plan…
Ally Jones made a deathbed promise to her friend who’d given her a home and shelter since she was a teen. When the older woman finally succumbed to cancer, Ally would take her ashes and spread them on a special spot in Destiny River, Texas.

And then, in a heartbeat and squeal of worn brakes, Ally’s life spins in a new direction.
Widower Sheriff Matthew Parker and his daughter, Jillie, are fine, despite the conviction of his small town’s female population that he must be in search of a wife. He’s not.
