Linc Wilder traded in his Army uniform for his old cowboy boots and hat and the quiet seclusion of his cabin on the outskirts of the Wilder ranch in Tennessee. But things are far from quiet after Eva Lucas and her two friends crash into Bitter End and turn his family upside down.

He thought being stranded with the sharp tongued red-headed New Yorker during a blizzard was his worst problem. Then he realizes what real trouble is when a secret from the family's past threatens everything. They'll all have to work together to save the family legacy. Friends. Enemies. Lovers... Good thing he and Eva qualify as all three.

It's Christmas time in the small town of Bitter End and introvert computer hacker Eva is happy to maintain her Grinch status until she's roped into the Wilder Family's annual Christmas competition and paired with youngest Wilder brother Linc, the hot young Army veteran.

She thought that was the worst thing that could happen until her competitive nature leads to her uncovering a century old family secret that could cost the Wilders everything.
