The gun-shy cowboy...
A cowboy’s scars can last a lifetime. Ty Slater’s cheerfulness is a carefully constructed armor. After losing his parents in a tragic accident, he was fostered at Thunder Mountain Ranch. Although Ty has learned how to survive, he hides a broken heart. He knows love leads to loss, so has vowed never to fall in love...
Unfortunately, Ty’s attraction to Whitney Jones is nothing short of a maelstrom, a desire that threatens his resolve. When she’s stranded in Sheridan for the holidays, Ty realizes he’d better find Whitney’s flaw, and fast—because his lust is too damn close to love. This red-hot cowboy is ready to bolt...unless Whitney shows him that some rides are definitely worth the risk.

Can you think of a better time to fall in love than Christmas? What could be more romantic than sparkling lights and glowing candles? Plus, if you’re lucky enough to live in cowboy country, winter prompts the guys to break out those sheepskin coats that make their shoulders look a mile wide. When they turn the collar up and tug the Stetson down against a cold wind, what’s not to love?
My Christmas present to you this year is Ty Slater, who happens to own both a sheepskin coat and a Stetson. You’re welcome. Ty can’t wait for Christmas to arrive. After the holidays the promotional calendar for his foster parents’ new project at Thunder Mountain Ranch flips over to January, and he will no longer be the shirtless cowboy who’s decorated walls all over Wyoming since September. But Whitney Jones, who’s been crushing on Ty’s calendar shot for weeks, isn’t nearly so eager to turn the page. Maybe she’ll have to make do with Ty himself!
I’m thrilled to welcome you back to Thunder Mountain for the holidays. Everyone’s missed you! Rosie and Herb are looking forward to a festive season now that the financial crisis that threatened their ranch this summer is over. Even better, Cade and Damon are back to stay, and Ty’s come home for a visit. Thanks to Damon’s skill with a staple gun, multicolored lights are strung along the roofline. Cade just finished plowing the road so you won’t need four-wheel drive to make it up to the house. Come spend Christmas with the Thunder Mountain Brotherhood!
Festively yours,
A Cowboy Under the Mistletoe
