When the beloved Farm Café in Topaz Falls burns to the ground, widow Darla Michaels comes up with the perfect plan to help her friends rebuild -- a Cowboy Christmas Festival complete with a sexy bachelor auction and a benefit rodeo. But to pull it off, she has to pretend to be engaged to Ty Forrester, the irresistible bull rider who keeps testing her keep-things-casual policy.
A fake fiancée wasn't on Ty's Christmas list this year, but it's the only way to get his family to visit over the holidays so his NFL-star brother can draw more tourists to the festival. The engagement wouldn't be such a problem if Ty wasn't starting to have real feelings for Darla. Knowing he can't go on pretending, Ty prepares to tell his family the truth--but then he and Darla discover a precious little Christmas surprise that just might help them embrace a whole new life together.
And a can of whipped cream.
“Hot chocolate?” he asked with a naughty raise of his eyebrows.
“Yes please,” she nearly whimpered.

I love the Rocky Mountain Riders series, and this addition did not disappoint!
When the beloved cafe in Topaz Falls burns down Darla is eager to come up with a plan to help her good friends rebuild the cafe. She decides on a Christmas Festival that will have a rodeo and a bachelor auction. She enlists her good friend Ty to help pull it all together. She tries to get Ty to bring his professional football playing brother to come to town and participate in the bachelor auction hoping it would help raise more money to help rebuild the cafe.
There is only one catch she will have to pretend to be engaged to Ty while his family is in town. Ty telling his family he is engaged is the only way he feels he can get them to come to Topaz Falls for the holidays. He feels the fake engagement should not be such a problem seeing as he has developed feelings for Darla, he is just hoping he does not get hurt in the process.
Will Darla develop feelings for Ty during the fake engagement. Will Ty end up telling everyone the truth.
