Becca can handle his rambunctious twins in the classroom. But teaching Zane to open his heart would take a Christmas miracle…

Zane Lawrence doesn’t need anything but the family dairy farm and his seven-year-old twin boys for his life to be complete. The single dad works hard all day and chases the boys around the farm all night. His life is a little chaotic – but there’s a delicate balance to it.

So when a pretty young teacher at the boys’ school tries to interfere with some big ideas about their education, Zane isn’t about to let her throw their world off-kilter. After all, she’s new to the school and Sugarville Grove, so she doesn’t know how things are done around here. And she definitely doesn’t know that Zane Lawrence has sworn off women. She might talk to him in a sweet, professional tone, but her eyes always linger on his a moment too long, and when he talks, she listens like there’s nothing more important in the whole world than the next word out of his mouth. It’s bad enough that she’s meddling in his business, but fact that he’s desperately attracted to her makes him furious.

Becca Winter has dreamed of being a teacher her whole life. When an elementary school position opens up in small town Sugarville Grove, she can’t believe her good fortune. Her busy schedule doesn’t leave any time for things like dating, but that’s fine by her, because helping kids is her passion. When she sees the Lawrence twins struggling and she knows they have so much potential, she reaches out to their dad right away, sure that this is her first opportunity to make a real difference.

It's crystal clear how much Zane Lawrence loves his boys, so Becca doesn’t expect him to respond to her suggestions with quiet anger. Anyone can see that the man has deep wounds, but his reaction to her almost feels personal. She’s not about to let it stop her from fighting for his kids, though. But when Zane finally agrees to her plan, she can’t be sure if it’s because she has him convinced, or because he just doesn’t want to talk to her anymore.

With the kids back on track, Becca is sure that her dealings with Zane are over. But for some reason, she suddenly finds herself bumping into the handsome cowboy at every turn. Whether it’s the store, the post office, or the flurry of holiday events in town, she can’t seem to stop seeing him everywhere she goes.

Could it really be a coincidence? Or did Santa send these lonesome souls a pair of holiday matchmakers for Christmas?
