Barreling Through Christmas — Shanna Hatfield

Surrounded by hunky cowboys, what's a girl to do? Advertising executive Paige Porter heads to Las Vegas for the finals rodeo with one goal in mind: Find a cowboy with the perfect… um… genes to model her client's new western clothing line. After covertly watching hundreds of men walk by, Paige finally finds the cowboy with her ideal assets. Before she can approach him, he disappears into the crowd. She's left with a picture of his back pockets and an annoying rodeo clown who makes her wish she'd never left home. Cooper James lives life to the fullest, determined to make people smile with his own special brand of humor. As a rodeo clown and barrelman, he loves engaging the crowd and getting a laugh, even if it means embarrassing an uptight ad executive who's desperately searching for an idyllic model. Intrigued by the woman, Cooper has no intention of telling her he recognizes the denim-clad backside in the photo she's flashing all over town. Laughter, light-hearted fun, and love ensue in this sweet holiday western romance.
