Vet Daniel McKee is a widower of two years, left with the
undaunted
task of raising his 7 year old twins, Gracie and Bryn in
his hometown of
Carefree, Montana. Losing their mother to cancer, Daniel
struggles with
spending way too much time at the horse barns tending sick
and hurt
horses while striving to do right by his girls in giving
them the attention
they deserve from a one parent family. The upcoming
wedding of his
friend Decker, held at Whisper Creek Ranch, the groom's
co-owned
ranch, changes everything for Daniel who is determined
to never love
another or marry again.
Kyla, the prospective bride, has her closest friend,
Hayley Scampini, a
small animal vet coming from Boston to stand up for her.
Hayley has
taken over her uncle's practice but dreams of caring for
large animals.
Arriving at Whisper Creek Ranch, Hayley quickly becomes
attracted to
Daniel, even though 3 months is the longest relationship
she allows herself.
Losing her two little sisters when her step-father took
off with them, the
heartbreak was so severe that Hayley rejects anyone with
children to
protect her heart. A wager is thrown at Hayley over a
country TV talent
show and the prize if Daniel wins is Hayley revisiting
Montana for
Christmas. Still guarding her heart, Hayley realizes she
is confronting a
losing battle as she falls in love with the twins---and
their father! To
complicate things, Hayley misinterprets Daniel's motives
as he begs her
to join his practice all while his mother-in-law weaves
her treacherous
web to achieve her own disruptive goal.
A COWBOY'S CHRISTMAS PROMISE is a story that will stay
with you for some time to come. Get ready
for tons of emotion and the honest love of a man willing
to do anything to
protect his children. The story has a wonderful and
captivating plot with
memorable characters. It's refreshing to read a genuine
love story that
portrays true love without the specific hard sexual
exploits. Maggie McGinnis
has such a magnificent way of revealing the true nature
and character of
her players. I truly loved this story and will seek out
others by this
talented author.
In a captivating novel spiced with holiday magic—perfect
for
fans of Rachel Gibson, Susan Mallery, and Molly O’Keefe—a
rugged Montana man mends a Northeast girl’s jaded heart.
Boston veterinarian Hayley Scampini tends the city’s
pampered pets but dreams of the rural life of a country
vet.
She’s single and determined to stay that way, convinced
that
love isn’t permanent enough to trust. Then a vacation to
the
Whisper Creek dude ranch introduces her to Daniel McKee, a
sexy single dad who runs the kind of veterinary practice
she
aspires to—and rattles her conviction to keep men at a
distance.
Managing a thriving practice, coping with the loss of his
wife, and fighting a custody battle with his in-laws over
his twin daughters, Daniel couldn’t be more overwhelmed.
Hayley is a godsend, accompanying him in the field and
winning over his girls. It doesn’t take Daniel long to
realize he’s falling for this woman, hard and fast. So
before Hayley returns to Boston, he extracts a promise:
that
she will return to Whisper Creek for Christmas. It’s the
perfect time and place to show Hayley that the promise of
a
beautiful life together is something she can believe in.
