A heartbroken city boy. A flirty cowboy with a hidden past. One kiss under the mistletoe that changes everything. Hayden I swore I’d never come back to Texas. But after burning out in LA and losing everything I built. From my startup to the man who broke my heart… I needed a reset. Sagebrush offered a quiet place to land, a fresh start, and a job that doesn’t care about fancy degrees or my ex’s Instagram following. Sagebrush is nothing like the world I left behind. It’s slower, quieter, and lonelier than I expected. Everyone here seems to have a partner, a purpose… something I’m still trying to find. Then Diego Cortez rides into my life like sin on horseback. He’s younger, cocky in all the right ways, and makes my pulse race with one damn smirk. He calls me Hollywood, makes it sound like a dare. And when he catches me under the mistletoe at the Christmas bonfire, he doesn’t give me a chance to walk away. Now I’m tangled up in something I swore I was done with. Diego I’ve worked on enough ranches to know when I’m not wanted—and when someone’s pretending not to look. Hayden Wolfe? Oh, he’s looking. He’s all pressed shirts, quiet glances, and those icy blue eyes that track me like he’s trying not to want me. Too bad I’ve never been good at keeping my distance. But Hayden’s been hurt, and I’ve been the guy who leaves more than I’ve ever stayed. Still… this time feels different. This ranch, this town, him. And when I kiss him under the mistletoe, I know I’m in deeper than I planned. Mischief and Mistletoe is a flirty, emotional, small-town Christmas romance full of longing glances, snow-dusted slow burns, and one stubborn cowboy who just might convince a lonely city boy that love is worth the risk. Perfect for fans of age gap, holiday heat, opposites attract, and cowboys who kiss like they mean it. This Christmas in Sagebrush, one kiss is all it takes.
