This cowboy has made a list-checked it twice-and she's about to find out exactly how right they are for each other.




A standalone holiday story from New York Times bestselling author Vivian Arend.




Cowboy Alex Thorne was a pain in quiet Yvette Wright's side for years, but when he suddenly left Heart Falls, she missed his smart mouth and sexy smile. Now he's back with a Christmas gift she can't resist. A homemade advent calendar fashioned from an antique desk, each locked drawer full of teasing reasons why they belong together.




It took far too long for Alex to realize why he'd relentlessly poked and teased his favourite Heart Falls veterinarian, but he's determined to make up for lost time now that he knows Yvette is the only one for him. He'll need to convince her that in spite of their differences, they're not headed into a holiday fling.




Christmas magic will need to be extra shiny and bright this year for these not-quite-enemies to become lovers for a lifetime-and a united force against anyone, or anything, that would tear them apart.
