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.

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.

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.
