Haley McKee is furious to find herself stuck in the tiny town of Starlight Bend so near Christmas. The only one who can help her is the handsome Maddox Campbell, a cowboy who’s not impressed with her fancy job title and money. In fact, no one has given Haley this much grief her entire life. But there’s a lot more to Maddox than at first seems—he’s a hard-working man who gives much of his time and patience to help those who have little. When a Starlight Bend tradition promises to bring Haley all she wants, will she make her Christmas wish with her head or her heart? This novella was originally released in Holiday Heat: The Men of Starlight Bend. New in this edition: Expanded epilogue.
