| Four Corners Ranch, Oregon – Present Day As HERO FOR THE HOLIDAYS opens, Landry King is in Portland to pick up his daughter who was adopted at birth. The adoptive parents were killed in an accident, leaving thirteen-year-old Lila in foster care. He plans to adopt Lila and raise her on the Four Corners Ranch, a consortium of four ranches that operates like a town of its own. Lila is soon adjusting, but Landry knows that he will have to address the elephant in the room. While his family accepts that Lila is his, how will they react when it is revealed that Fia Sullivan is her mother? She doesn’t know yet that he has Lila. Then, one day, she happens to show up. There’s no mistaking the red hair that Fia and Lila share. How will the threesome navigate their new life as a family? Landry and Fia were teen lovers both coming from dysfunctional parents who weren’t there for their children. When she discovered she was pregnant, she knew that she couldn’t keep the baby since she was sixteen. Landry went along with her plans to give the baby up for adoption and that should have been the end of it. It also ended their romance. Through the years, Fia and Landry have tried to avoid each other, which is nearly impossible since they are part of the Four Corners Ranch.
