🏚️Small town

With the holidays around the corner and her father under arrest for financial fraud, journalist Emory Oakes doesn't know where to turn. She's only certain of one thing: she needs to get away.

Fate takes the wheel, leaving her stranded in snow-dusted Evergreen Lake, the picturesque town where she spent her happiest Christmas as a teen - and chronicled every moment in her journal as she fell in love with handsome local, Tate Wilder, at his family's idyllic horse ranch - until it all went wrong.

Emory isn't ready to face Tate again, but Christmas magic has other ideas. Between snowy horseback rides and Christmas cookie tastings, it isn't long before Tate Wilder and his ranch feel more like home than anywhere ever has. But Emory can't stop the betrayals that kept them apart for a decade from resurfacing, and as her family scandal reaches the small town, Emory faces an impossible choice.

Will Emory and Tate's alchemy fizzle, or will their Christmas wishes come true?

Christmas at the Ranch is a totally unputdownable and irresistibly cosy Christmas romance perfect for fans of Elsie Silver and Laurie Gilmore!
