Garland Creek Cowboy is a Christmas story, and the first book in the Legends of Garland Creek Series, which will focus on second-chance romances in the small mountain town of Garland Creek, Arizona. Melayna Gaines and Devin Douglas dated all through high school. But when Devin proposed to Melayna just after graduation, she panicked and fled like her tail was on fire. Her dream had always been to travel, and Devin's future was tethered to Garland Creek. Sixteen years later, Melayna returns to her hometown to celebrate Christmas with her family, and comes face-to-face with the boy she'd loved in high school—who has become a key figure in the town, and now has a fifteen-year-old daughter. Will Melayna and Devin find a way to be together, despite her wanderlust? If Melayna can manage to stay put, could Devin trust that she would accept another woman's child? After so many years, are their feelings still strong enough to even try?
