Holiday Origins

Three military vets. One small-town mountain ranch. And the women who'll change everything.

This 3-in-1 steamy holiday romance collection delivers the emotional origin stories behind the Off-Duty Rescue Ranch—a safe haven for abused horses—run by broken, ex-military men and the heroines who love them.

Book One: Off-Duty Saint
Former military doctor Chris Magnus thought the hardest battles were behind him—until his father’s death left him one impossible condition: marry by Christmas or lose a billion-dollar inheritance. With the fate of the struggling ranch at stake, the gruff mountain man has no time—or heart—for love. But when a stranded woman shows up on his doorstep in the middle of a snowstorm, she just might be the unexpected miracle he never saw coming.

Book Two: Off-Duty Holiday
Navy SEAL turned drifter, Will returns home for Christmas hoping to find clarity—not complication. But when he wakes up next to his sister’s best friend, Ava, everything changes. One fake-dating scheme and a few too-real kisses later, he’s falling hard for the one woman he can’t have. When heartbreak sends him to Marion Mountain and the Off-Duty Rescue Ranch, Will thinks he’s lost her for good… until Ava walks back into his life. This time, he’ll have to fight for their second chance—or risk losing her forever.

Book Three: Off-Duty Cupid
Grumpy Marine-turned-ranch foreman Ryder never forgot the girl he once pulled from danger. Now, years later, she's back—in tight jeans, tough as ever, and the new accountant tasked with saving the ranch’s finances. She has secrets, he has scars, and neither of them expected to find love. But when sparks fly, will they risk the past to claim their future?

Set against the rugged beauty of Marion Mountain, these small-town romances feature protective alpha heroes, the women who challenge them, and a few mischievous rescue horses playing matchmaker.

Perfect for fans of found family, forced proximity, and emotionally wounded mountain men with hearts of gold. Each short romance ends in a swoon-worthy, satisfying happily ever after—but they’re even better devoured together.
