If there’s one thing Sarah Delaney hates—it’s Christmas. Perpetually single during the most coupled-up time of the year, plus the fact her hometown is Mistletoe, Montana, means the season definitely does not deck her halls. Her mother died on Christmas when she was eight, and so the holiday is nothing but heartbreak. 

When Sarah’s father calls begging for her help with their family tree farm, there are a hundred things she’d rather be doing. But, she agrees, determined to escape before the dreaded holiday. Except her plans don’t quite . . . go to plan. Her old high school friend Luke is hotter than ever, and there’s a new cowboy in town. Sexy and mysterious, Mac is raw passion, and he has a way of melting every part of her. But Luke has always been there for her—could he have been the one that got away? 

Soon Sarah is caught in an unfamiliar world of temptation, and a sizzling love affair that threatens to consume her. She knew going back home meant confronting her painful past, but the romantic whirlwind that she finds herself in has her questioning everything—including what she truly desires for herself.
