Merry Christmas, cowboy
(Book)

On the Denver streets, cop Paula Lewis is as tough as she needs to be. But away from skyscrapers and suspects, Paula gives back to the community she loves. This holiday season, she's moonlighting on a special project--the Christmas House. A turn-of-the-century mansion will be transformed into a festive wonderland to delight local children, all thanks to volunteers like Paula--and Zach Bennett. Zach left his family's Colorado ranch to sign on as a carpenter at the Christmas House. Freewheeling Zach hopes to make the holiday the merriest yet--from coaxing Paula onto the bunny slopes to filling in as a last-minute Santa. And as she and Zach are drawn together to keep one young boy out of harm's way, Paula realizes that the best gifts are second chances, happy endings, and the kind of love that makes every day warm and bright.
