A rakish cowboy. A chance encounter. The one woman who stops him in his tracks. Will she be able to tame his wild heart or are some men simply too independent to ever truly settle down? Find out in Carolyn Brown’s latest Longhorn Canyon novel!

Forever

Maverick Callahan isn’t the kind of man that dreams of his wedding day and the little rugrats that ensue. In fact, he’s the type of rascal who enjoys playing the field, flitting from one woman to the next. While on vacation, however, he meets a gal who knocks him for a loop. When all is said and done, he even breaks her heart. Big surprise there. So he thinks it is rather unlikely their paths will ever cross again. But then she turns up on his doorstop, and suddenly he vows not to let her get away again.

Bridget O’Malley isn’t thinking about romance, especially with Maverick, since he is the rogue who stole her heart and trampled on it. Besides that, she has her hands full as guardian of her best friend’s baby, which is a situation she didn’t exactly see coming. So she’s finished with any delusions of romance blossoming between her and the sexy Texas rancher. But as the holiday season envelops them, will he be able to convince her to surrender and give him one more try?

In Christmas with a Cowboy, Carolyn Brown delivers another sweet novel about two people who meet by chance, but who just don’t seem meant to be a couple, no matter how hot their romance was. When Maverick and Bridget meet again, Brown describes the wave of emotions that threaten to overwhelm them both and how they must learn to navigate friendship before they even think about dating again.

Brown’s gift for detail and rich characterization endears the novel’s cast to readers in such a way that they become both authentic and familiar. As such, this is the type of story that has us looking at our own family and friends with fresh eyes, finding new ways to relate to them. This is truly the gift of Christmas with a Cowboy. It’s a novel you’ll become vested in, and you’ll find yourself walking down the same roads Brown’s characters traverse. If you want a light, intimate story populated with fascinating yet flawed people, don’t miss Carolyn Brown’s latest trip to Longhorn Canyon.

Note: This edition also contains a bonus novella by Sara Richardson, Rocky Mountain Cowboy Christmas.
