Single mother, Diana Ward is at her wits end. Between her lousy baby daddy and the daily challenges of life, she feels overwhelmed. One night, fueled by a little too much wine, she writes an unconventional letter to Santa, asking for a cowboy. What she never expected was that her wish would come to fruition in the form of Lawson Boone—a tall, rugged stranger who shows up onto her doorstep delivering her Christmas tree with a grumpy scowl and a gaudy silver belt buckle that screams cowboy.

With his well-built frame and calloused hands, Lawson is the epitome of masculinity.

Everything she should want, and he seems determined to show her that she doesn’t have to face life alone. But Diana’s stubborn “I can do it myself” mentality clashes with Lawson’s persistence, creating a tension that’s unbelievably hard to ignore.
