“He blinked several times, reminding himself why he was here. It wasn’t to fall for a cowgirl in Montana.”

Lainey Evans takes a no-nonsense approach to running Lost Canyon Ranch. With a to-do list a mile long, that’s the way it has to be. Her top priority—open a horse training facility with Grandpa.

But when he passes away, her plans, and the fate of the ranch, are hurled into uncertainty. In his final letter to Lainey and her estranged sisters, Grandpa expresses a daunting stipulation to keep the ranch. To make matters worse, a determined, albeit handsome, businessman proposes to buy the property. If she takes the offer, her dream of starting a horse training business would be possible. And yet, it would come at a greater price—giving up the only home she’s ever known.

At Mt. Point Development, Knox Bennett doesn’t take no for an answer. He’s acquired more properties than any of his colleagues. That should be enough to earn the promotion at the start of the New Year. But it’s not. Knox must work his magic on one more project. All he has to do is convince the Evans sisters to sell their ranch before Christmas.

Lainey refuses to make a decision anytime soon. Their conversations grow heated, igniting anger and undeniable attraction. As they fight against their feelings and for ownership of the land, they are forced to confront another threat: a vicious saboteur causing havoc on the ranch. Can Knox and Lainey set their differences aside to discover what truly matters…before it’s too late?
