This Christmas, he's confronting the past… Wyoming rancher Cade Hunt rents a room in Marietta for the month of December for one purpose-to unravel the mysteries of his past. He's not interested in the local Christmas festivities, even though his pretty landlord, Merri Bradley, is more appealing than any woman he can remember. After losing her husband far too early, hospice nurse Merri has dedicated her life to caring for the grief-stricken during their final goodbyes. She loves her busy and fulfilling life and has no time for a brooding cowboy during her favorite time of year. Yet Cade is tempting, and she's technically his hostess. Marietta is full of Christmas magic and miracles. Soon, Cade is embraced by the family he didn't know he had-a grandfather and four Wyatt cowboy cousins. For the first time in his life, Cade has a sense of belonging and the desire to set down roots if only he can convince Merri that second chances are the best chance for their own happily ever after.
