Playing the lottery was just for fun, but with the one-billion-dollar win, life gets complicated.
It's been nearly a year since widowed Texas Rancher Ava Tomlinson won the lottery. And while her four adult sons have found love, Ava feels unsettled this Christmas. She's giving her sons more privacy, but she's especially lonely due to a rift in her once tight circle of friends. Ava's not anticipating a romance when a handsome, younger survey geologist arrives at the ranch to work through the holidays. He's sexy and fun, but only offering temporary.
North Rabe's career keeps him on the road. His plans of working through the holidays are derailed when Ava includes him in family dinners and festive plans in Last Stand. He's quickly smitten and finally has a glimpse of a family life he lost long ago. Does he dare attempt to lay down roots? And if so, how can he convince Ava and her protective sons he's after her heart, not her money?
