'Colorado rancher Luke O'Malley is shocked to hear that he has a teenage son living in New York City…and even more shocked to learn that his son is in trouble. Luke had a brief romance with Megan Montgomery years ago and had no idea it resulted in a child. He just knew it had broken his heart.

'Now Megan and Cody—their son—need his help. To avoid being sent to a juvenile detention center Cody must move to Colorado with his father. But there's a catch. Cody won't go unless Luke marries his mother.

'It's a marriage of convenience, but their feelings from the past have never really gone away. Luke has always believed that family is the road to happiness. Can he convince Megan of that?'

'When Sheriff Matt O'Malley rescues a pregnant woman after a car accident and helps deliver her baby, he quickly begins to feel protective of her–of both of them. Matt is increasingly drawn to Beth Ford and her daughter, Sarah–although he's noticed that Beth isn't your average new mom.

'For one thing, she's obviously hiding something. Like her real name...

'Beth's falling for Matt, too, and she loves the large, boisterous O'Malley clan. She can't let herself trust him, though. The last time she trusted a cop she almost ended up dead–and now she's on the run. But Spruce Lake, Colorado, is starting to feel like home to Beth...and the O'Malleys are definitely starting to feel like family.'

'And Christmas is the best time to do it!'
