Carol Award–Winning and USA Today–Bestselling Author: This Christmas could be their second chance—but is he really a changed man? With his entire family depending on him, Lucas Clayton reluctantly comes home just weeks before Christmas. Branded as the town troublemaker as a teen, Lucas left tiny Clayton, Colorado, and vowed never to return. But now he’s back—with a child in tow. No one is more stunned than Erin Fields, the hometown sweetheart he left behind. Commitment-shy Lucas is someone’s daddy? Before he can convince Erin he’s changed, he has to prove it to himself. And to a pint-size cowboy, who needs the Claytons—and the entire town—to make this a very special Christmas.
