Western & Frontier Romance (Contemporary, Open Door, High Heat) — working-ranch romance with a guaranteed HEA · Cedar Bend
Nothing to Do with Christmas
The whole counter bet her she couldn't make him eat a slice of pie and want Christmas back. She never meant to want him.
Pastry cook Jo Fallon takes over the Blue Camas Café kitchen for December with no job waiting anywhere else. In her first week the regulars goad her into a bet: Nels Haugen, the widowed rancher at the end of the counter, will eat her pie and want Christmas back by the twenty-fifth. Nels has fed hay alone up Sixmile Creek for two winters, and he has already told the room he never will.
Her first pie comes back to her kitchen door untouched. The second time she drives one out, he's hurt his hand on a frozen gate, so she ends up forking hay beside him before dawn. By mid-December they're lovers, on one condition he says out loud: this has nothing to do with Christmas.
Then he finds the coffee can full of bet money, and Jo has to admit what she has been doing with his grief.
A high-heat Christmas cowboy romance. Open door, explicit, guaranteed HEA. Perfect for fans of Maisey Yates and Joanne Kennedy.
