When you’re an introvert who works on a ranch, it’s pretty hard to meet women. Unless they fall from the sky… Peter Jeffers spent his entire life working on his family’s ranch. His friends joked that he could have been a grumpy mountain man if Texas wasn’t so flat. But the truth is, the peace and quiet of working on the land suits him. Even if it gets a bit lonely… Dr. Abigail Southerland has a job to do. There’s been a report of animal abuse on the Jeffers ranch, and as the county’s lead animal cruelty investigator, she’s obligated to see if the reports are true. She thinks she’s being stealthy hiding in a tree to get a look around the property, but she’s never been particularly graceful. Which is how she winds up literally landing on top of the man she came to investigate… When a snowstorm strands Abby at the ranch, she’s forced to spend more time with the grouchy introvert and his Christmas-obsessed family. As cold days lead to hot nights, the lonely veterinarian learns that sometimes found family is the best family – and sometimes love comes just when you least expect it.
