Book excerpt: From a New York Times–bestselling author, a cowboy’s stay at the ranch of the woman he has admired from afar turns into true love in this western romance. An ordinary cowboy? Or the love of a lifetime? Matthew Waggoner and Camille Hollister may have known each other for years, but nothing prepares them for the sudden flare of attraction that hits when Camille lets Matthew stay with her while the foreman is doing out-of-town work for her family’s ranch. But with Christmas just around the corner, it’ll take a holiday miracle to make these two patched-up hearts see past their differences and risk loving again . . .
