Love is the only cure for the holiday blues...
Sheriff Sam Delaney is shouldering a lot as the lone lawman in the small Texas town of Branding Ironâand the widowed single father of six-year-old Maggie. Especially since Maggieâs determined that what her daddy needs this holiday season is a girlfriend. Suddenly Sam is hustled off to a meeting with Maggieâs schoolteacherâand surprised to discover the demure Grace Chapman is unexpectedly alluring. Then heâs roped into playing Santa at the annual Christmas ball, with the pretty Miss Grace by his side. Itâs enough to make Sam even grumpier than usualâif not for the feelings sweet Grace stirs up inside...
Grace only wants to heal after her broken engagement. So why is she so charmed by the slow smileâand the surprising tendernessâof the townâs sheriff? Maybe because Grace is discovering that beneath Samâs gruff exterior lies a heart as big as Texas, especially when it comes to the women in his lifeâlike little Maggie. And now her... Which only has Grace hoping sheâll be Santaâs sweetheart for many seasons to come...
