Returning to Crooked Valley is more terrifying
than the battlefield to ex-soldier Duke Duggan. Still, Duke
has an important reason to be back—to take control of his
late grandfather's ranch. But being thrown headfirst into
his old life makes Duke feel like a fish out of water. That
is, until he sees Carrie Coulter again. Twenty years may
have passed but the chemistry between them is stronger than
ever.
When Duke threatens to sell the ranch, Carrie, the foreman,
realizes she could lose her livelihood. But no decisions
will be made until after the holidays. Until then, they have
time to explore the feelings that draw them to each other.
Together, can they come up with a way to keep the ranch…and
the burning love between them?
