The Teacher Who Brought Christmas to His Ranch

A Historical Western Romance Novel

Eliza Dawson brings warmth to her snowbound town, teaching her students and preparing Christmas festivities. Everything changes when a quiet young rancher settles nearby with the boy who was meant to join her class—until an accident keeps him at home. As she tutors the child at the ranch and her visits grow more frequent, Eliza’s heart begins to warm toward the guarded rancher in ways she never imagined…

Ethan Cole arrives in Van Horn carrying grief heavier than his saddlebags. After losing his parents one Christmas and surviving a loveless orphanage, he wants only to rebuild his life at the remote ranch he inherited. When the schoolteacher begins helping the boy he brought west, Ethan feels warmth returning to a heart he believed frozen, even as strange troubles creep closer to his land...

As the festive season approaches, Ethan and Eliza find their lives entwined, yet a dangerous man tied to Eliza schemes to tear everything apart. When a shattering truth exposes how deeply deception surrounds them, will Ethan trust the woman who brought hope back into his life, or let suspicion destroy the only family he’s ever dared to dream of?
