A Family for Boone

Charlotte Rice is holding on by a thread. Four years after losing her husband in a devastating fire, she’s raising five-year-old twins, running a struggling craft store, and refusing to set foot in the auto shop her husband left behind. She doesn’t need help. She doesn’t need pity. And she definitely doesn’t need Boone Crawford—the youngest of the rodeo-cowboy Crawford brothers—standing in her store with a smile that makes her forget she’s done with men.

Boone Crawford has spent thirty-two years proving he can’t be tamed. A calf roper on the rodeo circuit, he never stays anywhere for long and likes it that way. But watching his brothers fall in love in Cobbler Cove has stirred something restless in him—and it isn’t wanderlust. When he rents Charlotte’s shuttered garage to restore a vintage car, he expects a winter project. What he doesn’t expect is a pair of wild, wonderful twins who look at him like he’s some kind of superhero, or their mother who looks at him like he’s the most dangerous thing ever to walk through her door.

Somewhere between building blanket forts, fixing the town’s cars, and uncovering a secret her husband left behind, Boone starts to wonder if settling down might give him the peace he’s been chasing all along. And Charlotte, who buried her dreams along with her husband, begins to wonder if letting someone in isn’t the same as giving up.

But Boone’s secret could shatter the trust they’ve built and rodeo season is calling him back to the life he knows, Charlotte must decide: is she brave enough to love a man who might leave? And Boone must decide: is he brave enough to become the man who stays?

A clean, heartwarming cowboy Christmas romance with a wandering hero, a fierce widow heroine, her adorable twins, forced proximity, found family, and all the tender small-town charm your heart can hold.

Perfect for readers who love romances with emotional depth and a guaranteed happily ever after.
