Is it too late to write the perfect recipe for a holiday happily ever after? Olivia, once the chef at a five-star Michelin restaurant, has finally found the place where she belongs: Sagebrush Dude Ranch. Time moves slower in Starlight, Texas, but not during the holidays and not when she’s preparing for a wedding. There is no time for distractions, especially from the likes of her high school flame. Alex only came to Starlight to work. His next novel is due to his editor at the end of the holidays, and he doesn’t even have one chapter complete. What better place to research his western setting than a dude ranch that promises hands-on experiences? Only, he doesn’t expect to see the girl who broke his heart. Seeing one another again stirs up old feelings and unfinished business. As the wedding and the holidays converge, both have to make a difficult choice. Do they run from their past, or make room for the future?
