A cowgirl to her bones, she’s always solved her own problems, but when her ex—rodeo champ Sam Wyatt—shows up offering more than a shoulder to cry on, Ivy’s tempted to grab the safety line he throws. Sam Wyatt just wrapped his most successful year on the PRCA circuit. After long days and even longer nights, all he wants is a quiet holiday on his family’s Paradise Valley ranch… until he sees Ivy again. He can tell she’s in trouble. They may have called it quits two years ago, but she’s the one woman he regretted walking away from. Sam will do anything to keep Ivy safe, including putting a ring on her finger and sharing his name with her this Christmas.
