A Sweet Gift for the Cowboy

"Did she think this was a Beauty and the Beast modeling shoot?"

Two years ago, firefighter Ryker Bridge was trapped in a burning building, and he has the scars to prove it. Frankie Crowder lost her husband in that same fire.

When Frankie and her son need a hero to help pull off their Christmas play, they call on Ryker. Except that Ryker doesn't leave the house. He can't stand the way people look at him. Like he's a monster.

But he can't say no to his late best friend's wife. And though he tries to stay in the shadows, the beautiful Frankie and her five-year-old son don't make that easy.

Their grief has given them an incredible bond. But this Christmas season, it seems that bond wants to blossom into something even stronger. Will Ryker let someone love him, scars and all? Can Frankie convince him that he's worth it?
