A Montana Christmas Homecoming by Jeannie Watt

Posted November 16, 2025 by Marsha in Christmas Romance, Contemporary Romance, Montana (Tule), Previously Published, Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance, Tule Publishing / 0 Comments

This Christmas, home might be the best destination of all.

Jason Regan doesn’t do relationships or long-term commitments. His engineering firm keeps him constantly on the move, and that’s the way he likes it. But one quick trip to Holly, Montana, turns into an extended stay when a judge hands him community service at the town’s underfunded animal shelter.

Tess Evans traded courtroom battles for saving strays, pouring everything she has into the Forever Home Animal Shelter. With her make-or-break “Home for the Holidays” adoption event approaching, the last thing she needs is distraction… especially in the form of a broad-shouldered, maddeningly handsome volunteer who makes her pulse race.

Between fixing kennels, brushing shoulders in the supply closet, and chasing one mischievous terrier named Neville, their chemistry sparks hotter than a Christmas fire.

But Jason’s clock is ticking. Can a little holiday magic—and a lot of temptation—convince him that some things are worth staying for?

A former soldier. A stubborn cowgirl. A wedding no one expected.

Huck Jones never believed in love, but a vow is a vow—and this former Special Forces soldier turned rodeo cowboy has been roped into walking his fallen commander’s sister down the aisle. When the groom bolts and the bride’s pregnant, Huck steps in as the only man who can save the day.

Willow McBride is fierce, independent, and determined to keep her late brother’s ranch—and her heart—intact. She doesn’t need a hero, and she certainly doesn’t need a stand-in groom. But Huck is nothing if not persistent, and his sense of duty—and undeniable attraction—threatens to sweep her off her feet.

Amid rodeo dust, small-town drama, and unexpected sparks, Huck and Willow must decide if love is worth bending the rules—or if duty will always come first.
