Cash Buckhorn never thought he'd see Dr. Wren Barnes again, outside of the occasional fantasy anyway. He certainly didn't expect her to appear unannounced on his front porch, six months pregnant with his child. Wren asks for nothing, but Cash doesn't know what to make of it. This rodeo cowboy has lived twenty–seven carefree years as a bachelor–he's not ready for an instant family.

But when Wren's pregnancy complications strand her at Cash's Oklahoma ranch, he begins to imagine their future together. Problem is, Wren already has a future, far away in Baltimore. Cash knows Wren is used to doing it all on her own. Maybe it's the magic of the Christmas season, but Cash suddenly wants it all–Wren and their baby, home on the Buckhorn Ranch forever!
