He has everything this Christmas, but all he wants is the quiet ranch life he’s losing…
When Josh Tomlinson’s Texas ranching family wins a fortune in the lottery, the formerly tight-knit family is suddenly on edge. Seeking advice, Josh reluctantly contacts family friend and now attorney, Carly Garza. His business is serious, yet he can’t believe Carly’s morphed from a long-legged colt of a girl to a sophisticated woman. Besides, he knows the intelligent Carly has no interest in a quiet, rugged cowboy like him.
Carly’s crushed on Josh for
years, and she plans to ask him out now that she’s back in Last Stand. She’s
hoping he’ll finally see her as someone other than his younger brother’s middle
school girlfriend. But when Josh needs advice on how to handle his family’s
lottery win, his client and billionaire statuses put him firmly out of reach.
If only her heart could ignore the sparks that flare between them.
They’re already keeping the
family’s lottery win a secret from the town. Can they also hide their budding
romance during the most magical time of year?
“Carly, what
would you do if you could do anything?”
“Me?” She took
a step back, breaking contact, her eyes wide.
“Sure, you’re
asking us to think about what we would do. What would you do?”
Her mouth hung
open for a second. Then she shook her head with a wry smile. “I don’t have to
answer that question. I’m not the one with a billion dollars.”
“It’s still a
good question, don’t you think?” He really wanted to know her answer. “Maybe
everyone should ask themselves once in a while. You know, to make sure we’re on
the right path.”
“Yeah, maybe.
It’s not a bad idea. Okay, I’ll think about it.” She studied him through
narrowed eyes. Then she took a step forward and tapped his chest with one
finger. “But don’t go thinking you can spend your fortune on my
dreams, buddy. I can make my own way.”
“Of course you
can. I bet you can do anything.” He believed that. But he really wanted to do
something to make her smile.
