Country Frost - Paperback

by Cheyenne McCray (Author)

In this small-town cowboy romance, will accusations of criminal activity prevent a new business owner, his seriously ill younger sister, and a recently published author from becoming a family?

Leeann McLeod, a product of a large ranching family in the quaint town of King Creek, Arizona, dreams of leaving her X-ray tech job to become a successful author and start a family. Her dream takes a giant leap forward when she secures a three-book deal with a prestigious New York Publisher.

Farrier Porter Gann buys a small ranch outside of town after his parents pass away, and he becomes guardian to his sister, who has cancer. The idea of becoming a father had never occurred to him, and now that he's looking after a twelve-year-old, he worries his poor parenting skills will affect her recovery.

Porter meets Leeann when he shoes her gelding. He seldom speaks, but that doesn't matter. With Leeann's inquisitive nature, she asks enough questions to draw him out of his shell. And when his sister plays matchmaker, their chance meeting turns into a series of holiday outings. The three of them are almost a family.

Porter and Leeann's relationship seems perfect, until it's not. When social media posts falsely accuse Porter of being part of an illegal adoption ring, the couple's world is turned upside down. The situation escalates to physical attacks at Leeann's first book signing, forcing Porter to make a difficult decision.

Can their Christmas wish come true?

Or will their New Year's resolutions include getting over a broken heart?
