Copper Ridge & Four Corners, Oregon – Present Day

Cowboy Wolf Garrett wants to get away from his family’s ranch for a couple of weeks, so he agrees to help out his cousins in Copper Ridge. Arriving at the bed and breakfast where he will be staying, he meets the innkeeper, Violet Donnelly. Wolf is instantly attracted to her but senses that she is young. Turns out that Violet is twenty-two, which makes her ten years younger than Wolf. While he tried to avoid giving in to the attraction that flares between them, he can’t avoid it. Their night together has Wolf discovering that Violet is a virgin, and that he needs to get as far away from her as possible.
Violet misses Wolf after he leaves and doesn’t regret what happened between them. However, a few weeks later, she realizes that she might be pregnant. Even before she has taken a home pregnancy test, Wolf shows up on her doorstep as he was informed by his cousin about her condition. Once the test confirms there is a baby on the way, Wolf whisks Violet off to Four Corners. His goal is to take care of her and the baby, but what exactly are his plans? All Violet knows is that she is falling more in love with Wolf. But he is determined to not give in to love.

Raised by her protective father, Violet knows that any man she gets involved with would have to be approved by him. So, she figures if she can have her first fling with a man who won’t be sticking around, her father wouldn’t have to find out. In MERRY CHRISTMAS COWBOY, Violet finds her man in Wolf. Their sexual chemistry is sizzling hot from the moment they meet at the bed and breakfast. They dance around their attraction, but it can’t be denied. Wolf feels like he is unable to love due to his childhood and also losing his first girlfriend. That is why he only limits himself to one-night stands. Violet was supposed to be another one, but a failed condom and his continued attraction to her say otherwise.

Once Violet and Wolf are living together at his cabin on the Four Corners Ranch, she asserts herself. No way is she going to live in this dump for the next nine months. By the time Wolf returns home from work the first day, his bed is in her bedroom, she has cleaned the house up, and has Christmas decorations up. He is stunned because he didn’t know he had the Christmas decorations (they were stuck away in a closet) and that she managed to make a delicious tasting meal. Is Violet trying to make a home for Wolf? For a man who never thought about love and marriage, he is now thinking about marrying Violet. But despite his offer of marriage, he can’t offer her the one thing she wants: love.

Violet and Wolf have an instant attraction to each other and end up potentially being tied together forever in MERRY CHRISTMAS COWBOY. Can they learn to trust love—and each other? Find out the answer by grabbing a copy of this engaging tale.
