A rugged cowboy. A restless peddler’s daughter. A Christmas they’ll never forget.

Josh McClellan has finally found the life he was meant for. After years of wandering with his restless father, his family has put down roots on a cattle ranch in southern Arizona. The wide-open grasslands and towering mountains are the perfect backdrop for the honest, hard work that makes Josh proud to call himself a cowboy. But when he stumbles upon a peddler’s camp on McClellan land, he’s not prepared for the fiery-haired beauty who instantly captures his heart.

Dora Baumann has only ever known life on the road, selling wares from her father’s wagon. Since her mother’s death, she’s accepted her fate as a drifter—until their burro goes lame, forcing them to stop. As Dora tends to the animal, she finds herself longing for something she’s never had—a real home, a place to belong… and maybe even a man to share it with.

With Christmas approaching, Josh’s cowboy code and his Christian heart won’t allow him to leave the stranded travelers without help. As he offers his aid, he and Dora are drawn together by a powerful attraction neither of them expected. But when her father is ready to move on—and Josh’s family faces a decision that could take him far from Arizona—their newfound love is threatened.

Will Josh and Dora find a way to hold on to each other, or will this holiday season be their last chance at happiness?
