When Madeline Soto bids on a cowboy at the town's holiday auction, she's not looking for romance-just a chance to prove she's still got it. Enter Leeland Blackwood: a quiet, steady veterinarian standing in for his thrill-seeking twin brother. Lee's plan? Explain the mix-up, bow out gracefully, and return to his routine. But when sparks fly faster than sleigh bells, neither can resist the pull of something unexpected.
Madeline's got two kids, a full plate, and no time for a cowboy, no matter how charming. Lee's never seen himself as anyone's hero, let alone a ready-made family's. But with Christmas magic in the air, misunderstandings, meddling townsfolk, and a sprinkle of mistletoe might just rope them together for good.
