Mistletoe Maverick — Shannon Curtis

Sexy bachelor and local sheriff, Jackson King would like to have a little more contact with the newest resident of his town, Patience, Texas -- but dealing with her young ward's shenanigans wasn't exactly what he had in mind.
Stephanie Farrell is struggling this Christmas. As a new guardian to two young children she discovers that playing Mommy is a lot tougher than expected -- and there's certainly no room in her life for dating or relationships, no matter how smoking hot the temptation.
When Jackson is called to Stephanie's address during a late night home invasion, his attempt to rescue her makes him a target. Now, he'll risk his life to save the family who has stolen his heart.
