A Christmas Baby for the Cowboy by Megan Crane

Posted October 26, 2025 by Marsha in Booksprout ARC, Christmas Romance, Holiday Romance, Marietta Montana, Modern Western Romance, Montana (Tule), Series, Sexual Content, Small Town Romance, Tule Publishing / 0 Comments

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.

Dragged into a crazy publicity stunt, one handsome cowboy has no idea how he ended up accidentally married.

Then Chase discovers the wedding was real, the surprise bride is beautiful, and his sponsors are demanding he remain married.

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?
