Well, that’s a doozy of a Christmas downer. Rather than cry or pout, Annabelle’s determined to make a new tradition and what better place than Paradise Valley, Texas on a ranch, where a large family and a happily married college girlfriend are ready to brighten her spirits.

In the typical holiday spirit, chaos breaks out and he’s designated chief hospitality officer, seeing to a curvy gal who has all the right moves, if only she’d get into the holiday spirit… or him. When Case lays on some of that down-home Christmas charm, Annabelle can’t help but be smitten by how sweet and attentive he is. Horse-drawn wagon rides, hot cocoa in front of a roaring fire, and her favorite holiday movies go a long way toward creating that new tradition she so craves. But when too much rum hits her eggnog, she finds herself standing beneath the mistletoe with Case poised to do the honors. What she never expects is learning a brand new meaning of holiday cheer. **A novella based on the bestselling Dalton Boys series. Cowboy Crazy. Cowboy Bargain. Cowboy Crushin'. Cowboy Secret.

Lilah Sherman was a geeky teen who loved sci-fi—and Easton Dalton. He even kissed her at a Halloween party, but she found out later it was a bet. Now he’s back and working alongside her brother as a hand on his uncle’s ranch in Paradise Valley and whoooeee, is he smokin’ hot. And it turns out he wants to kiss her again, not that she’ll ever let him—or let him live it down that he saddled her with the nickname Lizard Lilah... moreLilah Sherman was a geeky teen who loved sci-fi—and Easton Dalton. He even kissed her at a Halloween party, but she found out later it was a bet. Now he’s back and working alongside her brother as a hand on his uncle’s ranch in Paradise Valley and whoooeee, is he smokin’ hot. And it turns out he wants to kiss her again, not that she’ll ever let him—or let him live it down that he saddled her with the nickname Lizard Lilah. Easton’s had some hang-ups recently over a pretty bartender who finally gave in to his advances, only to receive the cold shoulder afterward. But men with a stinging pride know when to walk away, and this cowboy is putting his boots on new soil. The land is all he needs from here on out. At least until he spots a beautiful filly with a familiar hint of strawberry in her blonde hair and a set of lips he’s hell-bent on kissin’. Each time Lilah lands in Easton’s arms—or lap—she struggles to keep her head on straight, but the cowboy with the wicked gleam in his Dalton blue eyes keeps ripping her off-balance. Running from his advances is the only way to go, especially when he’s only helping out his relatives and destined to leave her brokenhearted. But Easton can be very persuasive, and he knows just how to pluck the strings of this not-so-gawky woman’s heart. less
