Dan Roland has always gone it alone. And no prissy miss from back East is going to convince him to do otherwise. Even if she does have the most alluring brown eyes he's ever seen. But when suddenly his boss orders that he help the brunette beauty find a buried treasure, the rugged ranch foreman doesn't have any choice but to offer his protection.
It's not just the weather leaving Penny Anderson feeling a bit chilly upon her return to Texas. First she gets the news that her ailing father has hidden the family fortune. Then she learns Dan Roland is the only one he trusts to help her find it. And yet one teasing, tempting kiss at a time, he starts to thaw her out until all she yearns for is...a cowboy for Christmas.
