      Second Chance Yuletide

      Owning her own plane is all charter pilot Zoey Hathaway’s ever dreamed of. So when she inherits a struggling reindeer farm, with three dozen unruly reindeer and one dangerously attractive ranch hand, Zoey’s well-crafted plans seem to fly out the window. Now she must put her trust in Alec Wynn, and hope that the troubled cowboy’s past won’t interfere with her plans to save the farm. Zoey knows that if she wants to succeed, she can’t do everything on her own. But as she accepts Alec’s help, she’ll soon realize it’s not just her farm that’s at stake—but her heart.

      “Trouble sleeping?” Alec’s voice was a low rumble as he sauntered up beside her.

      “Oh.” Zoey turned, her heart thumping hard in her chest. “You startled me.”

      “You’re not accustomed to having someone around.”

      “I guess I’m not.” She dropped her gaze to the snow collecting on the fence post. Alec had a way of looking at her that made her feel exposed, and standing beside him in the darkness only exacerbated that sensation.

      “Sorry,” he murmured.

      “Don’t be.” She cleared her throat and forced herself to look him in the eyes. Why was she suddenly so flustered? “I just got distracted.”

      He nodded toward the reindeer. “I can’t blame you. They make a pretty picture at night.”

      “Gorgeous.” She glanced again at the snowy scene. It was as if she and Alec had stepped straight into a Christmas movie. Visions of mistletoe danced in Zoey’s head and she suddenly felt flushed, despite the cold.

      “You okay?” Alec gave her a sideways glance.

      “Sure. Why wouldn’t I be?” Zoey shrugged, feigning nonchalance.

      Mistletoe? Clearly, the reindeer weren’t the only distraction on this ranch.
