Frosted Firs Ranch

The first in a new cozy Christmas series where the 12 annual Competitions of Christmas in the, close-knit town of Noel, North Carolina are underway! This year horse breeder, and newcomer, Jordyn Banks decides to take on the resident Christmas tree decorating champion, who happens to be her handsome next door neighbor. Barrel racer Jordyn Banks is thrilled to discover affordable land for sale in charming Noel, perfect for breeding her horses. But that's not all. A nomad with no family-other than her beloved Quarter Horse, Star-she also hopes to find a home within the close-knit Appalachian Mountain community. Yet Jordyn didn't bargain on inheriting a controversial Fraser Fir-or falling for a handsome single dad whose adorable little girl tempts her to dream of being far more than a property owner . . . Since losing his wife in childbirth six years ago, Nate Reed has devoted himself to their daughter, Roxanna, and built up their thriving Frosted Firs Ranch. For nine years straight he's won Noel's contest for the most perfect Christmas tree for the Town Square. It's a tradition he began with his late wife. But this year, Jordyn Banks is determined to harvest her Fraser Fir and compete-meaning Nate will finally be challenged-in more ways than one . . . Throughout the event, Nate can't help noticing that Roxanna is dazzled by Jordyn's strength, beauty, and quirky sense of humor. Soon enough, Nate is falling for her, too. But can a feisty wanderer ever really settle down? Is Nate ready to open his heart to someone new? And is it possible that sometimes love does grow on (Christmas) trees? . . .
