Tule Publishing (November 6, 2025)
Western Romance/Holiday-Christmas Romance
Mac Bodie doesn’t do roots, relationships, or Christmas cheer. A former ward of the state, he’s built an empire from forgotten land, turning dust into millions. Now he’s seized a cattle station next to his maybe-brother’s spread, hell-bent on unmasking the family who abandoned him as a baby.
Jess Lean doesn’t mind hard work, single-handedly running the cattle station her ailing father manages for a distant owner. But when Bodie—her unforgettable one-night stand—buys the land and uncovers their struggles, he’s no longer the laughing hero of her dreams. Worse, he spots her pregnancy before she does!
With Christmas closing in, vengeance within reach, and fatherhood looming, Bodie faces a brutal reckoning. Jess, whose passion still haunts him, refuses to marry him unless he dares to leave his past behind. Will he rise to become the man two unexpected families need, forging a legacy of love and forgiveness?
All he must do is take a chance on love and bare his fragile, guarded heart.
A cowboy Christmas romance full of passion, second chances, and a surprise baby that changes everything.

REVIEW
This is a well written story with great characters. I was pulled into the story right away. The story flowed and it was an easy, interesting read. I loved the growth of both characters. I loved how they balanced one another and made the other feel safe. I liked the supporting characters as well, from her dad, the ranch hands, and the relatives/neighbors (the good and bad; they all added to the story). A much deserved HEA ending, done really well. Enjoyable!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Accidentally educated in the sciences, Kelly Hunter didn’t think to start writing romances until she was surrounded by the jungles of Malaysia for a year and didn’t have anything to read. Eventually she decided that writing romance suited her far better than throwing sterile screw-worm flies out of airplane windows, and changed careers. Kelly now lives in Australia, surrounded by lush farmland and family, 2 dogs, 3 miniature cows, a miniature pig, a 3-legged cat and a small flock of curious chickens. There are still flies, but their maggots don’t feed on flesh. Bargain. Kelly is a USA Today bestselling author, a three-time Romance Writers of America RITA finalist and loves writing to the short contemporary romance form.
