A Cowboy's Christmas Reunion: A Snowy Pines Christmas

by Bailey Lane, Long Valley Designs (illustrator)

Claire Miller thought she’d left Snowy Pines—and her past—behind for good. But when her grandmother falls ill, she finds herself returning to the Colorado mountain town she once called home. Snowy Pines is as picture-perfect as she remembers, wrapped in Christmas lights and fresh-fallen snow, but the welcome from her old flame, Brody Collins, is more complicated. Brody, now a steady fixture in town and the local hardware store owner, hasn’t forgotten the pain of Claire’s sudden departure. And he certainly didn’t expect to find her back in his life, rekindling memories of first loves and what-might-have-beens.

Brody has his reasons for staying in Snowy Pines, grounded in the family and community he’s built there. Yet Claire’s return shakes his world, stirring feelings he thought he’d buried. As they navigate the festive season together—from tree lightings and Christmas fairs to quiet moments filled with unspoken words—Brody and Claire are drawn back to each other with a familiarity as comforting as an old quilt.

But Claire’s life in the city still calls, and Brody isn’t sure he’s ready to risk his heart again. As Christmas lights twinkle around, they’ll have to is the magic of Snowy Pines enough to mend past hurts and offer them a second chance, or will their holiday reunion be the final farewell?

In this heartwarming tale of love, forgiveness, and new beginnings, Brody and Claire discover that sometimes coming home is the hardest—and most rewarding—journey of all.
