Summary

"A delightful annual tradition." -RT Book Reviews

The little town of Branding Iron, Texas, keeps an annual tradition that makes the holidays especially festive-the Cowboys' Christmas Ball. But Sheriff Ben Marsden, busy with work, joint custody of his son, and caring for his aging mother, has no plans to attend. Not until a pretty newcomer to his small town gets involved in the planning. Suddenly Ben finds himself wanting to keep a close eye on Jessica Ramsey, and not just because her relatives seem to be in jail more than out. He can tell the mysterious redhead has secrets in her past, but now that she's bought a little fixer upper with her mom to start a bed and breakfast, the whole family's turning over a new leaf. With the prospect of dancing and celebrating ahead, surely there's time for everyone to unwind. Because this year, more than ever, Ben's got Christmas-and loving-on his mind.

Publisher's Weekly Review

Dailey's latest Christmas-themed novel features a classic roadside meet cute. When Jess Ramsey's car falters in Branding Iron, Tex., near the last known home of her birth mother, Francine McFadden, she is fortunate that help arrives in the form of the sexy sheriff, Ben Marsden. Ben helps Jess find Francine, who's in the local county jail; she can't control herself when she has too much alcohol. Jess is determined to help Francine and decides to stay in town, planning to start a B and B in a rundown old house and hoping this will be the new start she and Francine both need. Jess and Ben develop a mutual attraction as she continues to fix up her new home and helps him plan for the upcoming Christmas Ball. Dailey has always been a talented storyteller, and her latest is no exception; she breathes life into her winning characters in a holiday tale that is sure to please fans of chaste contemporaries.
