Synopsis

A young widow is determined to give her son a quiet Christmas in their new town.
Will a restless cowboy turn all her plans upside down?

When Cora Davies packs up her life and travels to Trinity Falls just before Christmas, her goal is simple. She wants to raise her seven-year-old son in the same small town where his late father grew up. She buys a cute little cottage on the edge of the woods and puts up a wooden fence to keep her son out of the creek—never expecting that this simple act will put her in a passionate conflict with a man who is known in Trinity Falls for his impulsive energy and his dark good looks.

Jared Webb has had his eyes on the property next to the old fishing hole for months. But by the time he manages to put his offer together, an outsider has already had her bid accepted on the land that means so much to him. And the first thing she does is block off access for everyone else. A calmer man might have tried to explain things, and come to an arrangement with the new owner. But Jared marches right up to her without a plan and puts his foot firmly in his mouth, making himself the laughingstock or the hero of the village, depending on who you ask.

But when he hears the young widow’s tale, the hot-headed hunk feels guilty enough to go back and apologize, and he even offers to lend her a hand around the house. He’s doing it because it’s the right thing to do. It has nothing to do with Cora’s beautiful gray eyes, or her charming, adventure-hungry son, who looks up to Jared and suddenly makes him feel like he could one day be something more than a restless cowboy.

The only trouble is that the young widow has put a barricade around her heart that seems even more impenetrable than the fence that started their squabble in the first place.
