Author Description

A RITA® award finalist for best contemporary romance Have yourself a steamy little Christmas… After three years in prison, freight train engineer Lacey Gallagher doesn't expect this Christmas to be very merry and bright. At least chopping down trees for her brother's Christmas tree farm will help her save money to get her life back on track. All her plans derail, though, when her new job puts her in territory patrolled by the man who haunts her dreams—the forest ranger who sent her to prison. Austin Wilder isn't thrilled about Lacey working in his forest—but he soon realizes he needs her help. His family is depending on him to restore an old steam train for a spectacular Christmas event, and train expert Lacey is his only hope of finishing in time. Working together challenges every assumption Lacey and Austin have about each other, and they discover a desire hot enough to melt even the deepest Montana snow. But will the season of second chances be enough to mend the most hardened broken heart? This steamy Christmas romance novel features a Christmas romance lodge, lots of Christmas trees, and some Christmas humor to bring you good cheer!
