Kiss Me, Cowboy by Liz Talley

It’s Christmas time in Holly Hills, Texas!

When Ivy League volleyball coach Georgia Hightower’s car breaks down on a back country road, it’s the perfect indicator she never should have come back to Holly Hills, a place where she’s always felt not quite good enough. But then a cowboy shows up in a white truck and reminds her of what she always loved about Texas – men in cowboy boots.
Veterinarian Reed McCormick isn’t looking for love. He’s spent years living a posh life in LA and is perfectly happy taking care of patients who don’t speak. Still, the long-legged, smack-talking woman who rolled into town for her best friend’s wedding is making him think twice about his solitary life.
Georgia isn’t planning on staying. Reed isn’t planning on love. But with a little holiday magic and hometown charm, there may be nothing either of them can do about falling for one another.
