Cole Sterling is living a cowboy’s dream—a great job with the Bridger Bunch at Laughing Creek Ranch, a hot romance with gorgeous Mila Bridger, and lively jam sessions with the local country band. Only one glitch. He loathes Christmas. Mila and her family love it. Can he power through without cracking? He has to. Digging up the past is no bueno.

Attracted to sexy Cole from day one, Mila slow-played it. Her last boyfriend used his emotional damage to manipulate her, and Cole has issues. But after six months she’s convinced he’s nothing like her ex. So what if he’s not wild about the holidays? Once she unearths the truth, she’ll find a way to heal his bad Christmas memories with mistletoe kisses.

But can he let go of the Ghost of Christmas Past and embrace her as his Christmas present?
