An ex-military doctor vowing never to love. A singer who sold her soul for fame. A gray horse who played matchmaker between them. And time running out before love could seal the deal . . .

When the past proved love couldn’t be true, Chris focused instead on doing good in the world through his mountain rescue ranch for horses and therapy to help ex-soldiers heal. But the ranch took more money to operate than he realized. When faced with a challenge from his father, he forced Chris to consider the unthinkable: to marry by a deadline to earn his billion dollar inheritance. Would he do anything to save his ranch before bill collectors knocked on the door?

He briefly considered his brother’s idea: to find a woman in his small town community near his secluded ranch who would marry quickly for money. But where would he find such a willing woman?

Nicoletta always had big dreams for the country music stage. Often focused on herself, she didn’t win awards for friendship on her road to success. One accident and one big break later, she landed in front of a music mogul’s son, Chris Magnus—the man with the biggest heart on this side of Nashville, but the man who hated the music world with a passion.

When something ignites between them, could a gray horse named Fifty play matchmaker and bring the two together for a better common cause: Love?

Or, with time running out, would someone else foil their plans before love could save the day?

This Christmas could be their best. While their past proved love wouldn’t last, and their lies mired in the present, the future—could be exactly what they wished for and needed the most.

This steamy, small town, holiday military romance will leave you swooning with a happily ever after. Keep reading to see how the Off-Duty Rescue Ranch prevails against all odds.
