My father died when I was a baby.
My mother died when I was two.
I grew up in foster care, constantly shifting between families.
I’m twenty-three now, and still moving from place to place. If there’s a ranch or a farm that needs an extra set of hands, I’m there.
But my greatest wish? To find my forever family.
The job at the Devonshire Ranch is only supposed to last through Christmas. But for the first time in my life, I don’t want to leave.
Maybe it’s the family that doesn’t treat me like an outsider. Maybe it’s the bond that’s grown between me and the horses.
Or maybe it’s Coal Wilde and his dark stare. His skin glistening in the winter sun. His warm hand on my thigh, waiting for me to ask for more.
Will this be the Christmas I get my wish?
