Christmas surprise delivery—an outlaw on her doorstep! When rodeo cowboy Clayton Everett stumbles into a cabin in the woods—injured and on the run—he doesn't expect to be rescued by an angel. But Tala Nelson might be exactly that. She's the softest thing he's ever seen, and she makes his heart, scarred by a lifetime of hardship, beat just a little faster. Small-town schoolteacher Tala knows she should fear the man dressed all in black who looks like an outlaw from a Wild West movie, but she doesn't. As she cares for Clayton, she discovers he's a good man and no outlaw at all. In fact, he could be the hero of the story. Tala's never had anyone to celebrate the holidays with, but as Christmas draws closer, she wonders if this could be a season of firsts with her cowboy—first kiss, first love, first forever…
Author

New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Maisey Yates lives in rural Oregon with her three children and her husband, whose chiseled jaw and arresting features continue to make her swoon. She feels the epic trek she takes several times a day from her office to her coffee maker is a true example of her pioneer spirit. In 2009, at the age of twenty-three Maisey sold her first book. Since then it’s been a whirlwind of sexy alpha males and happily ever afters, and she wouldn’t have it any other way. Maisey divides her writing time between dark, passionate category romances set just about everywhere on earth and light sexy contemporary romances set practically in her back yard. She believes that she clearly has the best job in the world.
