Connor keeps things running smoothly in the Cuddle Cove, a cozy corner of the ranch where guests come to unwind, snuggle up, and fall in love with his herd of miniature highlands.
Around here, he’s known as the quiet cowboy with a steady smile and hands that never stop working.
But under all that calm is a secret he’s spent years hiding. He was once the heir to an enormous fortune; until he came out and ran away.
Now, with news that his grandfather has died and the world is searching for the missing Richmont heir, Connor has a plan; keep his head down through the big Christmas Experience at Beaker Brothers Ranch, and then disappear again.
But then Hayden arrives; warm, curious, and impossible to ignore. Suddenly the lonely ranch nights are filled with laughter, late-night talks, and a spark Connor didn’t expect.
Staying invisible now feels like the hardest thing in the world, because for the first time in years, Connor finally knows how it feels to be seen.
