Skye Mallory has always aspired to leave her family's ranch, and she takes pride in having achieved her dream of becoming a lawyer. But when an unexpected inheritance draws her home for the Christmas holidays, she's surprised by a longing to set down roots in the wide-open meadows and woodlands of southwestern Colorado. Only one thing stands in her way-a cowboy who broke her heart nine years ago. In high school, Joe Carrigan admired Skye for her spirit and intellect, but he knew she was destined for a life beyond ranching. Turning down her romantic overture was the best course of action for them both. But now, he's returned to their hometown, and it's inevitable he'll come face-to-face with his one regret in life-Skye Mallory. This time, however, he won't be so chivalrous. This novella was previously published in the anthology A CHRISTMAS COWBOY TO KEEP. Heat Level: Steamy
