The Rancher's Christmas Gift/A Home For The Ranger

The Rancher’s Christmas Gift - Jolene Navarro

Love comes in an unexpected package for this cowboy and his K-9s.

Content with his quiet life training service dogs, the last thing army veteran Joaquin DeLeon wants is a runaway bride disrupting his peace. Looking for shelter after running out on an arranged marriage, environmental engineering professor Xitlali Kan is determined to carve out her own happiness — for herself and her neurodivergent son. Despite their personal reservations, the single mum and silent cowboy find themselves getting closer as young Oscar bonds with Joaquin’s latest training dog, Luna. But when the past catches up with Lali, will they lose out on their chance to build the family they all deserve?

A Home For The Ranger - Audrey Wick

Can two little girls in need convince him to stay?

For park ranger Shane Hutton, his job as head of Cottonwood Creek State Park has always just been a stepping stone towards his cowboy dreams. And when kind-hearted volunteer Allison Van Horn’s request for help with two foster children in need stirs up painful memories from his past, Shane’s first instinct to leave grows stronger. But the more time he spends with Allison and the adorable twins in her care, the more his heart begins to heal. When a head ranger position opens up in west Texas, he must choose: the opportunity he’s always wanted...or the family he’s always needed.
