Career-minded Lexi Russell has always sought a calm, predictable life that doesn’t require taking chances. But coming home to Wyoming for Thanksgiving, she finds out her carefully orchestrated life has imploded. Her “perfect” boyfriend has been cheating on her, her lucrative job has been eliminated, and the family ranch is on the chopping block. In addition, the teenage boy who broke her heart one summer a decade ago has turned into a handsome cowboy who’s planning on buying her family’s ranch with a lowball offer and her parents’ blessing. She’s got to figure out a way to help her parents avoid a serious mistake, find a new job, and stop her growing attraction to the cowboy who’s bent on taking away the family’s legacy.  Did she mention she has trust issues? With Christmas on the horizon, things take an unexpected turn. Is she ready to give love a chance?

With a corporate tech buy-out in hand, Cort McClane is ready to become a ranch owner. It's a dream he’s had since he spent a summer at his relatives’ place in Wyoming learning how to ride with the help of neighbor Lexi Russell. Things didn’t work out then between them, his fault, but it seems fate has given him a second chance to make things right and try again. He may be in her crosshairs for wanting to buy her family’s ranch, but this time he’s not giving up.
