The Christmas they never had.James Cade has one priority: keep the family ranch running smoothly in the wake of his younger brother''s death. With Jesse''s ex, Sofia Gallardo, and her young son, Javi, stranded at Cade Ranch over Christmas, this task just got a lot harder. The longer Sofia and Javi stay, the harder it is to imagine the ranch without them. James couldn''t save his brother from his inner demons, but he can give his nephew a secure future. Maybe more—if he can figure out how to trust Sofia, and stop feeling like he''s betraying Jesse. Because trying to stop thinking about beautiful, determined Sofia is impossible.
