About this ebook

Bushwhacked by the Ghost of Christmas Past…

Cole Sterling is living a cowboy’s dream—a great job with the Bridger Bunch at Laughing Creek Ranch, a hot romance with gorgeous Mila Bridger, and lively jam sessions with the local country band. Only one glitch. He loathes Christmas. Mila and her family love it. Can he power through without cracking? He has to. Digging up the past is no bueno.

Attracted to sexy Cole from day one, Mila slow-played it. Her last boyfriend used his emotional damage to manipulate her, and Cole has issues. But after six months she’s convinced he’s nothing like her ex. So what if he’s not wild about the holidays? Once she unearths the truth, she’ll find a way to heal his bad Christmas memories with mistletoe kisses.

But can he let go of the Ghost of Christmas Past and embrace her as his Christmas present?

Looking for sexy cowboys, fun family dynamics, and a charming small town? Then mosey on over and meet the Bridger Bunch! Steamy western romances from the NYT bestselling author who brought you the McLintocks of Rowdy Ranch, Montana.

Very heartwarming story, with all the feelings. Mutual attraction, feisty couple with some realistic challenges that just need the magic of Christmas. I appreciate their maturity as they work with the good and deal with their blending their differences.

About the author

New York Times bestselling author Vicki Lewis Thompson’s love affair with cowboys started with the Lone Ranger, continued through Maverick, and took a turn south of the border with Zorro. She views cowboys as the Western version of knights in shining armor, rugged men who value honor, honesty and hard work. Fortunately for her, she lives in the Arizona desert, where broad-shouldered, lean-hipped cowboys abound. Blessed with such an abundance of inspiration, she only hopes that she can do them justice.
