I picked up this read because I love Christmas and cowboy stories. Erich is a sexy foreman on a ranch in San Antonio and is in love with his boss’s daughter, Aubrey. Aubrey left home 12 years ago to go to the big city to become a cop. As she comes home for her annual holiday visit two weeks early, Erich knows something is wrong. His suspicions are confirmed when he picks Aubrey up from the airport drunk.

Aubrey is reeling from a drug bust gone badly and the one wrong choice that changed her entire life. She’s back home to lick her wounds and drown out the screams of a fourteen-year-old boy she will never forget. Not knowing how to deal with the pain and guilt, Erich introduces her to a friend and former soldier who knows exactly what Aubrey is feeling. As Aubrey starts to deal with the ramifications of her actions, a gang leader shows up to retaliate against her for the life she accidentally took.

The story was a quick, enjoyable read. I loved the fact that Aubrey and Erich were able rekindle their love. I love reading about strong female leads. Aubrey was a competent cop until her core was shaken with a horrible situation. She tried to drown her problems with alcohol, but with the help of a few well-placed people, she rebounded quickly and kicked ass in the end.
