One night, all Granny's warnings prove to be true, and Buford's life is changed forever. What will happen to Buford? Is this story just make--believe or could Buford be the lamb we see in the manger scenes at Christmastime? Read this book to find out who Buford really is.

"This whole setup sounds even worse sober than it did last night when I was drunk." Spur stared at the contract. The second page was his list of expectations added after a night of drinking. He had never intended to be tied down. And he certainly hadn't planned to marry a woman he didn't love. Clare wasn't looking for a husband. Even if she was, Spur wouldn't have been on her list. He was a rambler. However, the idea of running her ranch alone terrified her. Most importantly, she needed a father for her children. No, she didn't choose Spur-her children did. The contract was her idea. She needed a guarantee that Spur wouldn't run away when things became difficult-like after her baby was born. Outlaws, old memories, unwanted relatives, and a ranch to run will make their journey together even more difficult.
