A Cowboy Holiday by Lane Hayes

The cowboy, the rancher, and a little holiday magic…

Tanner
I meet the grumpiest man on the planet, and I’m head over heels in lust. No joke. Oak Ridge Ranch’s new part-time-vet-slash-ranch-hand is a bear, and he’s built like one too. If I were smart, I’d keep my distance.
In a twist, I’m not so smart.
But I can tell that under his hard-as-nails exterior, the cowboy is a gentle giant. Axel is a devoted single dad, a dedicated vet, and…I think he likes me. Or he wants me.
I can work with that.

Axel
I need the job at the ranch through December; then I’m out of here. I have a kid to think of, and it’s time to settle old scores and build a new life. But Tanner complicates things. He’s smart, intuitive, charming, and—
Whoa! This is temporary. I’m not Tanner’s cowboy.
But I am attracted to him…and there’s nothing wrong with a little holiday fun, is there?
