The second book in the Christmas Cowboy series by USA Today Bestselling Author, Jamie K. Schmidt is a tale about coming home for the holidays and meeting up with your first love.

Julie has mixed feelings being back at the Atwood ranch. She's happy she could help her grandmother's recovery and be with her for the Christmas holidays. But she senses Grandma Tammy has an ulterior motive behind the invite. She's playing matchmaker with her ranch foreman, Luke —the boy that rocked Julie's world and then ghosted her. It would take a lot to get them together, especially since Luke is more of a Christmas grinch than a Christmas miracle.

Luke never thought he'd see Julie again after their wild night of romance before she left for college. Her grandfather had made himself violently clear that a ranch hand wasn't good enough for his princess. And when she never tried to contact Luke again, he figured it was for the best. But now she's back and he wants her more than ever. Only, he's determined this time not to get hurt again. It's hard though, when her kisses are sweet like a candy cane and heady like a double shot of bourbon in his eggnog.

Julie's not sure how to break it to her grandmother that she's a city girl, through and through. But when things heat up with Luke, Julie wonders if she could trade in the bright lights of NYC for the sunsets of Montana.
