Her secret high school crush is back in town for Christmas--and he wants the one thing she'll never give him.

Gabe Creason never intended to return to Bent Creek, Montana, where his family lost everything. But when his job forces him there-and worse, pits him against Marybeth Noble, daughter of his family's worst enemy, the girl he secretly loved in high school, and the owner of a beloved Christmas shop-he finds something he never knew he wanted.

Home.

Can two foes find love and reunite a broken family, or will dangers from the past and the present keep them apart?

A Bent Creek Christmas is the prequel novella to the Harker Brothers Ranch series.
