She brought Christmas into his cabin. He gave her a reason to stay.
Tessa Wilder wasn’t supposed to get stranded in the Sierra Nevada mountains three days before Christmas. But when a blizzard shuts down the highway outside the small town of Pine Ridge, the sunshiney city baker finds herself snowed in at a remote ranch with the last man she expects to depend on'''gruff cowboy Gage Holloway.Gage likes his life quiet. His ranch. His horses. His solitude. Especially during the holidays.
The town calls him dependable. Protective. The kind of man who shows up when someone’s in trouble. But after losing too much, Gage has no interest in Christmas cheer... or the bright-eyed woman currently taking over his cabin with cookie tins, fuzzy socks, and enough optimism to melt snow.
There’s just one problem. The storm keeps getting worse. The power flickers. And the cabin only has one bed.
As the days pass, Tessa begins to see the soft heart hiding beneath Gage’s rough edges—the lonely cowboy who secretly leaves food on neighbors’ porches, fixes fences before dawn, and watches over the whole town without asking for anything in return. And Gage realizes the woman snowed into his life is becoming impossible to let go.
But when the roads finally clear, Tessa will have to decide if Pine Ridge was only a temporary stop… or the place where her heart finally found home.
My Snowbound Cowboy is a part of the Cowboys for Christmas series. This steamy small-town holiday romance features a grumpy cowboy hero, forced proximity, only one bed, protective alpha vibes, holiday healing, and a hard-earned happily ever after in the Rough & Ready Country universe.
