A Cowgirl's Christmas by C. J. Carmichael

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OYWP6G8

For years Callan Carrigan has been her father's right hand man, so when her dad's will names city slicker Court McAllister the new owner of The Circle C Ranch, Callan feels betrayed on every level.

That feeling only gets worse when Callan and her sisters find their mother's diaries, hidden from them by their father since their mother's accidental death 18 years ago. The shocking revelations explain a lot. Reeling, Callan seeks refuge in the local saloon, where it seems no one can reach her, until Court offers her a challenge.

If she agrees to be foreman at the Circle C for one year, he'll deed the ranch back to her and her sisters. The deal seems too sweet at first--until Callan realizes Court has his eyes on something she protects even more than her family's land--her heart.

If you enjoy clean, romantic stories with small-town values and emotionally layered characters you will love the Carrigans of the Circle C Ranch.
