When it comes to the Christmas season, Rustler Mountain, Oregon, is as lively as its Wild West past, from its winter wonderland landscape to its weekend festivities, filled with food, music, and sometimes, wild hearts meeting in unexpected romance . . .

A swoony Christmas cowboy romance for fans of Lyla Sage, Elsie Silver, Jessica Peterson, Amy Barry, and Robyn Carr.

No one would blame Cassidy Wilder if she wasn’t a big fan of Christmas, or of Rustler Mountain. After all, her introduction to the town came the Christmas her mother left her on her father’s doorstep. Yet Cassidy grew to love it all, especially her three protective half-brothers. And this Christmas, she’ll have it all too, if she can make one of her lifelong wishes come true: to marry Dalton Wade.

Sure, Dalton’s had casual affairs over the years, but obviously, with Cassidy he’s too respectful to make the first move. So, she’s finally going to confess her love. There’s just one hitch: brooding, tatted bad boy West Hancock. There’s bad blood between the Wilders and the Hancocks but West is about to be Cassidy’s brother-in-law. He’s the total opposite of the man she’s given her heart to. If only he didn’t ignite . . . other parts of her. Worse, he’s got to help her train as a trick rider for the Wild West show.

West is determined to ignore the heat between him and Cassidy. He just wants to get through Christmas and move on to working his own ranch. Still, even if it’s purely lust, it’s powerful. Too powerful for either of them to resist. Trouble is, they seem to understand each other better than anyone else does. Can a winter fling become an evergreen love?
