Christmas with the Cowboy
“The story had everything I could ask for in a book, great characters, writing and the perfect romance.…” – Janine on Goodreads
She’s ready for a fresh start. He’s sworn off love. But, this Christmas, sometimes the best gift is an unexpected beginning…
Fia Price is done with runway lights and camera flashes. After walking away from her high-flying modeling career, she heads to Texas for the holidays to land she and her brothers have recently inherited. The plan? Clear out her great aunt’s cluttered cottage and figure out her next move. But with her brothers eager to sell, her time in Texas is ticking down. Then she meets Gib Donovan—the rugged, no-nonsense cowboy—and his irresistibly charming son. Suddenly, the thought of staying put, of starting over in Katesbridge, feels like more than just a career change. It feels like a life change. If Fia can find the courage to make it.
Gib Donovan has one priority—his son. Running the ranch and protecting his heart is all he’s focused on. The last thing he needs is a former supermodel stirring up emotions he thought he’d buried for good. Fia Price, with her sparkle and infectious energy, is a dangerous distraction. As Christmas approaches, Gib starts to wonder if there’s room in his life for more than just work and worry—maybe even for love.
I’ve been a reader all my life and I wrote my first book at the age of eight and haven’t stopped since. Writing and reading have been my solace and my joy. Stories are where I lose, and find, myself.
I also love traveling, a backpack and an airplane ticket are two of my favorite things. What else? I have the domestic skills of a pot plant, drink far too much coffee and have an on-off, mostly off, relationship with exercise.
I’ve written over seventy books and I write for both the Harlequin Presents, Desire and Afterglow lines. I’ve published a romcom novel with One More Chapter (more in 2025!), and romantic action novels with Tule Publishing and Penguin/Random House’s Intermix imprint.
I spent many years in sales, pro-business lobbying and local economic development, but now I’m lucky enough to write full time. I live with my husband in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa and am a mom to two amazing young adults.
I am bossed around by two spoiled cats and the worst behaved dog in the world, who also happens to be the size of a small cow.
I love meeting readers, so come hang out with me on my social media channels.
