Meet the cowboys at Shooting Star Canyon Ranch, the heroes of the Christmas in Shooting Star Canyon series. Each cowboy will have his own story in the series, but you can meet them all now!

 

 

 At what point does a misunderstanding turn into a lie?

Evie Brown would do anything for her uncle, the only family she's ever known. So when he comes to her with a desperate plea to help save his home and business, she takes the only job she can find—housemaid for a rancher she knows nothing about. Making friends with a ranch hand who literally sweeps her off her feet is just a bonus.

Andrew Radcliffe is tired of every woman he’s ever met only interested in his money. Giving up on love, he focuses on expanding his ranch, and demanding loyalty from those who work for him. Mistaken by Evie for a servant in his own home, he plays along. At first, he enjoys the chance to learn more about the spirited young woman working for him. But complications arise as he falls in love with her.

Just after Evie admits to Andrew she’s fallen for him, her uncle arrives with a scheme. Now Evie faces an impossible choice—lose the man she’s fallen in love with, or turn her back on her family. Who will she betray? And when Evie discovers Andrew isn’t just a ranch hand, she’s certain no matter her decision, a happy ending is heartbreakingly out of reach.

  


He insulted her. She slammed the door in his face. Only their mutual disdain for Christmas will bring them together.

Ethan Wilder has a lot of reasons to hate Christmas. Being dumped by his cheating fiancée and ending up in Holly Wreath, Wyoming to hide out, is currently the biggest. The next person on the receiving end of his bad attitude is the waitress serving him cold diner food.

Nobody dislikes working long hours at the diner more than Olivia Campbell. She has to do something to pay the bills when customers at her bed-and-breakfast are slow. She puts on a happy face for her daughter, but after her husband walked out on them right before Christmas five years earlier, she wouldn't mind skipping the holidays. To make matters worse, she opens her front door to discover her new houseguest is the cantankerous man from the diner with the gorgeous hazel eyes.

Living in close quarters should be unbearable. However, as they share some of the simple pleasures of the holidays together, Olivia and Ethan find themselves enjoying the season for the first time in a long time. Until Olivia discovers just who Ethan is. Then, it may only be a Christmas miracle that keeps them together.

 


Butterflies? Levi Bailey does not get butterflies. Well, at least he didn't until Meredith Porter spilled coffee all over him.

Meredith has plans. Big plans. She is done being safely wrapped in bubble wrap. She is ready to live. That's what her list is all about—living and experiencing. Is it fate that her list of learning, trying, and experiencing continues to bring her into the path of grumpy Levi Bailey? She isn't sure—but she doesn't mind. Levi is just a misunderstood cinnamon roll and Meredith plans to enjoy every second of helping him realize that.

Levi's life has a routine. He's been running it for years. Go to work, care for Mom, watch over the siblings. If he's lucky, he'll get to play with his niece Alice before his head hits the pillow at night. It may sound boring, but it's worked for years. Why mess with a good thing?

Only… it's not that great. Now that his mother isn't sick and his siblings are grown, they don't really need him. Where does that leave Levi? It would seem in the hands of quirky, unpredictable Meredith Porter and her list. This girl is too young and too innocent for the likes of Levi. He has no business taking her to yoga or teaching her to ride a bike.

He certainly has no business falling for the twenty-three-year-old who has pretty much been living under a rock her entire life. Yep… no business at all, and yet there are a million butterflies disturbing his insides, telling him to kiss the girl, to give this thing with Meredith a chance. Telling him that maybe, just maybe, he is worthy of affection from someone as good and pure as Meredith.

Then again, what do dumb ol' butterflies know anyway?
