A stubborn cowboy. A fiercely independent woman. One Thanksgiving neither will forget.
When survival means breaking the rules, Whitney Johnson isn’t afraid to take chances. With her father gone and two younger siblings depending on her, she’s done everything from poaching game to raiding the Wainwright lands to keep food on the table. But when her luck runs out and she’s caught red-handed by the rugged landowner himself, she’s in for far more trouble than she bargained for.
Mac Wainwright believes in two things—honor and responsibility—and he’s not about to let a determined, reckless young woman face the harsh Ozark winter alone. His solution? Put Whitney under his roof—and maybe, under his protection for good.
But Whitney’s not the kind to surrender easily, especially when her heart is at stake. Between simmering attraction, old-fashioned values, and a man who won’t back down, she’s about to learn that sometimes, love means yielding just enough to find her strength in his arms.
A heartwarming, old-fashioned romance with a spicy power exchange twist—perfect for readers who love strong heroines, protective heroes, and the kind of love story that lasts long after the last page turns.
