Home for Christmas

A handsome dude ranch owner. A talented pastry chef. And a holiday workspace that turns into a recipe for romance.

Rachel Murphy is at a crossroads. Taking refuge with her brother in a small Montana town, she’s determined to keep her dream of owning a bakery alive by creating custom gingerbread houses. Her Christmas wish list is simple: a professional kitchen, a permanent home, and someone to share it with. When Nate Vaughn, the rugged owner of the Bar V5 Ranch, offers her a workspace, it feels like a holiday miracle she can’t refuse.

Nate Vaughn is focused on running his family’s dude ranch, but he can’t ignore the ambitious chef who has moved into his kitchen. As they work side by side amid the scent of ginger and cinnamon, the professional boundaries between them melt.

Mixing business with affairs of the heart is a risky recipe, especially with the pressure of the holiday season looming. As their connection heats up, Rachel must decide if her future belongs in a professional kitchen or in the arms of the cowboy who made her Christmas wishes come true.
