Colt Boone's only respite from his tumultuous childhood occurred at age twelve, when he spent a few months with tender-hearted caregiver Honey Malone. Years later he hopes to visit Honey for Christmas to finally thank her for her kindness. He's shocked to learn Honey will be spending the holidays with her newly discovered biological children she thought lost. Worried it's a scam, Colt hurries to Grand, Montana only to be challenged by his past—once a thorn in his side and now certain he's her enemy.
Emmet Garcia—Emma to her friends—fears that this season of joy, forgiveness, and new beginnings will be anything but. She's protective of the woman she sees as her second mother and having Colt unexpectedly arrive sets her further on edge. They were briefly childhood friends, but he never kept in touch so how can she confide her concerns about Honey's biological children. And that's before the cowboy from Honey's past shows up.
Can Emma and Colt work together to protect those they love and believe in fairy tale endings?
