Description
Gray Everett has a heart of gold but that doesn’t mean he believes in the magic of Christmas. He’s got plenty else to worry about this holiday season, what with keeping his cattle ranch in the family and out of the hands of hungry real-estate investors looking to make a down-and-dirty deal. That, plus being a parent to his young and motherless daughter, equals a man who will not rest until he achieves his mission. Now, all Gray needs is the help of his lifelong neighbor . . . who happens to have grown into a lovely, spirited woman.
For Abby Douglas, the chance to join forces with Gray is nothing less than a Christmas miracle. Much as the down-to-earth farmer’s daughter has tried to deny it, Abby’s been in love with stern, smoking-hot Gray her whole life. So when Gray proposes a marriage of convenience as a way to combine land—and work together toward a common cause—Abby can’t refuse. But how can she convince Gray that sometimes life offers a man a second chance for a reason . . . and that their growing trust and mutual passion may be leading to true and lasting love?

This is actually 4 1/2 stars for me. I enjoyed the story, but the emotional ending brought it up the 1/2 star more. Abby and Gray have their secrets and their pasts that threaten their relationship. I loved the fact that Abby and Gray are not in their 20’s. This gave them more of a past to have to work through. The darkness in Gray was a bit daunting and held me back from liking him at the start. With Abby trying to make him see the truth brought him around, and that’s when the tears begin. I recommend this story.
I received an ARC of this story through Netgalley, and this is my unsolicited review.
