Author Description

Christmas in Big Sky country... Christmas has never been a big deal to event planner Emily Henderson. Holidays were for kids with families, not a girl whose big brother was the only thing keeping her out of a foster home. But now, her brother and his wife are gone--and the only family she has left is their little girl, Natalie. And Emily's determined to give the child everything she never had. There's only one problem...Natalie's sexy maternal uncle. Stockbroker turned lodge owner Carson McBride isn't letting Emily take his niece anywhere. But it's Christmas, so he offers a truce--Emily can spend the holidays at the lodge with him, his father, and Natalie, and they'll figure out custody in the New Year. He's sure Emily will realize that Montana is the best place for their niece to grow up. Only, during the next week, the one thing Emily and Carson realize is that they can't keep their hands off each other! But even as they grow closer--much, much closer--they're still at an impasse. Will Emily leave with Natalie or will she give her niece up to Carson? Or will this unconventional family get a true Christmas miracle?
