About this ebook

An unexpected inheritance rekindles a red-hot romance just in time for Christmas…

Janessa Parkman spent one long-ago summer in Last Ride, Texas, trying to bond with her estranged father, Abe. Turns out that was plenty of time to fall hard—and crash badly—for Brody Harrell, who managed Abe’s ranch. Everyone believed Brody would inherit Colts Creek one day, but now, fifteen years on, Abe’s will reveals the shocking truth—Janessa gets everything, and she must agree to stay in town for three months…through Christmas.

Brody’s attraction to Janessa burns hotter than ever. Though he refuses Janessa’s offer to give him the ranch, refusing her is impossible. Misunderstanding drove them apart once before, and secrets and betrayals run through both families. But what starts as a temporary Christmas fling might turn into a love strong enough to last every holiday season yet to come.

Ratings and reviews

Complex family dynamics and a second-chance romance Janessa is back in Last Ride for one reason - to bury the father she barely knew. Until his will and a quirky town tradition force her to fill in the blanks on the man she thought she knew. Brody is the only one who misses the late Abe Parkman, and he wonders how he was able to see a different side of the man who was universally loathed by all. Nor does he know what to do with all this simmering chemistry he still has with Janessa, but then the secrets start bubbling to the top and it's soon clear that they still have a truckload of unfinished business. This story is about so much more than the star-crossed love story between Janessa and Brody. There's so much family drama that shows just how intricately everyone was connected by secrets, lies, and passion and maybe even a little bit of love. It was a spellbinding story that kept me enthralled from start to finish. If you like a little mystery with your dysfunctional family dramas, this book is what you're looking for. Brody and Janessa get a solid HEA that permeates their entire family network. I loved every bit, and I'm looking forward to the next book in this terrific series. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
