Falling for a Humbug Cowboy: A Christmas Grump vs Sunshine Christian Cowboy Romance (Vargas Ranch Book 5)
About this ebook
Reeling from the fallout of a life-altering family secret, Drake Vargas is in no mood for the Christmas season. His signature scowl and icy attitude make him the ultimate Grinch of Vargas Ranch, and the last thing he wants is to deal with his annoyingly cheerful new barista.
Candi Kaine lives and breathes Christmas magic. Armed with a relentless optimism and a mission to spread joy, she’s ready to take on her grumpy boss. Whether it’s through twinkling lights, holiday tunes, or peppermint mochas, Candi is determined to drag Drake—dancing into the holiday spirit.
As holiday traditions clash and tempers flare, Candi’s unyielding cheer might just break down Drake’s walls—or push her limits. Can this cowboy rediscover the joy of Christmas, or will Candi’s unshakable spirit finally meet its match?
