Tinseled Up in Texas — Lori Leger

After burying both her parents within months of each other, Niki Reeves needs a change. She takes the first opening her employer offers and transfers from Missouri to San Antonio, Texas. Her first night in a strange city, an old love interest makes a surprise appearance at her door. Grateful for the sight of a friendly face, she somehow manages to resist the blue eyes, sexy grin, and rock-hard body of the former Marine-turned-rancher who has disappointed her in the past. Matthew “Tex” Broussard leads a solitary life on his ranch in Blanco, just north of San Antonio. He's got plenty of time to contemplate past mistakes, his greatest being his treatment of Niki. He's never been able to forget the green-eyed, buxom blond he'd once ditched in order to spend time with a pole dancer. Will Tex's southern boy charm be enough to convince her he's a changed man? And will Niki find enough Christmas spirit to grant Tex the gift of a second chance?
