Big & Rough Cowboy's Christmas Bell
(2025)(The sixth book in the Big & Rough Alpha Cowboys series)
A Story by Sara Hazel
DANE:
When a curvy photographer shows up on Christmas Eve to take pictures of my grandfather's old train maps, I never expected to get snowed in with her—or to fall this hard, this fast.
I'm a rancher who keeps to myself. My grandfather's old caboose is my sanctuary—a place where I can breathe, think, and be alone with the maps and memories of the past.
Then Maple Matthews shows up.
She's all wild curls, confident curves, and a smile that lights up the prairie winter. She only needs a few hours to photograph my grandfather's railroad maps. But when a blizzard hits and the door latch breaks, we're trapped together for the night.
In the glow of the potbelly stove, with snow piling up outside, everything changes. She sees past my rough edges to the man I've been hiding. And I see a woman who makes me want things I thought I'd given up on—connection, hope, forever.
By Christmas morning, I know the truth: Maple Matthews isn't just passing through my life. She's the destination I've been searching for all along.
One night. One bell. One chance at love.
MAPLE:
Christmas Eve should've been simple: drive to a remote caboose, shoot some vintage railroad maps, and head home. But nothing about Dane Donovan is simple.
He's all brooding intensity, calloused hands, and a quiet strength that draws me in from the first moment. When a winter storm traps us together in his grandfather's converted train car, I discover the man behind the walls—and he's everything I didn't know I needed.
One broken door latch. One potbelly stove. One night that changes everything.
Dane makes me feel seen, desired, and cherished in ways I've never experienced. And as the snow falls and the fire crackles, I realize I'm not just capturing moments anymore—I'm living one.
By the time Christmas morning dawns, I know I'm not leaving my heart behind when I drive away. Because Dane Donovan isn't letting me go anywhere without him.
Some connections can't be explained. They can only be felt—and celebrated.
An intensely sizzling instalove Christmas romance featuring a confident curvy heroine, a protective cowboy hero, snowed-in forced proximity, and a love that defies all logic but feels completely right.
Genre: Romance
