She’s a no-nonsense cowgirl. He’s Hollywood charm with a second shot. But this Christmas in Texas, the heart might be the biggest wildcard.
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. He cut his losses and moved on until he was given a second chance to reboot his hit show the way he originally wanted to do it. No compromises.
But convincing a stubborn cowgirl who’s distractingly fascinating that he can be trusted is going to take all of his persuasive powers plus the magic of a Hill Country Christmas to find a hit happy ever after for both of them.

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. Still grieving, she and her canine companion leave New York City, weeks before Christmas, never anticipating that the town she’d heard so much about for many years could sprinkle seasonal magic that would change her life. 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. His sister jokes that he should hire a fake fiancée for Christmas. Not funny. Then he witnesses a horrific car accident, and when he pulls the victim free and gazes into her stunning eyes, he sees an unexpected future.
Destiny? Impossible. How can fate unfurl happy-ever-afters for two non-believers?

US Marshal Cassie Parker excels under cover. When her boss sends her to Red Cliffs, Texas, to keep tabs on the criminal mastermind she’s been hunting for three years, she jumps at the chance. But convincing the irritatingly handsome rancher, Cole Connors, to play along might be her hardest mission yet.

As Cassie and Cole pretend to be engaged, it’s challenging to remember what’s real and what’s fake. For Cassie, the time spent with Cole and his daughter awakens a yearning for more than a career diving from one undercover job to the next, never having roots or a home.

Destiny’s River, Texas: A chance to begin a new life—and new loves.
Victoria “Tori” Parker has been searching since childhood for a place she and her three siblings can call home. She’s found that and more in Destiny’s River, where she put down roots, bought a bed and breakfast, and successfully ran for mayor.
Her siblings have other ideas on planting roots, but she’s determined to make Destiny’s River irresistibly livable for her family and long-term residents alike. She’s eyeing a local hot springs as a public use project—if only good-looking rancher Caden Wright would stop being stubborn and put the good of the community ahead of his property.
Caden admires Tori’s spunk, but he has a life mission, too. He promised his grandfather that he’d never change this land his family treasured. Yet that vow becomes harder to uphold as Tori’s kind heart reveals that not every woman is after his wealth.
There’s too much on the line for either of them to quit their dreams, but love has a way of fixing even the toughest Texas tangle.

True to their family name, the Wilders of historic Rustler Mountain, Oregon, have an outlaw lineage and a wild nature to match. But when it comes to love, an untamed heart might know best . . .
Carson Wilder and Perry Bramble have been best friends forever, starting with their painful childhoods. As far as romance, Carson always knew he wasn’t good enough for her. And by the time they were grown, their bond was too important to risk messing up. Now, Carson is grieving the death of his wife. And like always, Perry is his rock. He can’t imagine life without her. But he may have to.
Perry has loved Carson since she was 7 years old. He never showed a hint of interest in her beyond friendship, but two-plus decades later, he’s still the most important person in her life. Maybe too important. Inspired by the diary of an ancestor who left everything behind to come west as a mail order bride, Perry stuns Carson with a decision: She’s moving to a neighboring city to expand her florist business—and to find love and start a family.
Carson hates the idea, but he’ll do anything for Perry’s happiness. He’ll even help get her historic home fixed up for sale. She can stay with him at his ranch house on Outlaw Lake in the meantime. What ensues are dinners filled with laughter, dating app disasters—and Carson wondering why he’d look for another woman when the one he loves is right here. His answers may lie in the letters he finds from the man who married the mail-order bride. . . . But can he finally gather the courage to be true to his wild heart—before it’s too late?
