Second-Chance Christmas
It’s been nine years since Jake Hamilton broke Allison Buchanon’s heart and left town. But she’s never been able to forget the high school boy she secretly loved. Now Jake’s come home to care for his ailing grandmother, and Allison’s family will do anything to prevent a rekindled romance. Unfortunately, the connection between Allison and the green-eyed cowboy is undeniable. She believes that forgiveness is possible, especially at Christmas. But Jake cares too deeply about Allison to take her away from the close-knit Buchanon clan. Will Allison have to choose between a loving family and the love of her life?
The Buchanons: Steeped in loyalty, bound by family.
Jake saw a range of emotions flicker across Allison’s face.
Disappointment, worry, relief. He latched on to the last one. She wanted him gone.
Then why was she here? Why did she insist on pushing past his caution when absolutely nothing good could come of it?
Jake wished for the thousandth time he could erase one terrible day from their lives. He was comfortable with Allison, liked her, a dangerous thing, then and now. She made him smile. She even made him believe in himself. Or she once had. With everything in him he wanted to know this grown-up Allison, a dangerous, troubling proposition.
“You’ve grown up.” Stupid thing to say, but better than yanking her into his arms.
She tilted her head, smile quizzical. “Is that a good thing or a bad thing?”
For him? Very bad.
Allison had definitely grown up.
And Jake Hamilton was in major trouble.

Someone was at the Hamilton house. Someone in a black pickup truck bearing a bull rider silhouette on the back window.
Curious, with a tremor in her memory, Allison Buchanon pulled her Camaro sports car to the stop sign in a quiet neighborhood of Gabriel’s Crossing, Texas, and sat for a moment pondering the anomaly. She drove past this corner at least once a week on her way to her best friend’s home. She
