Being popular was all that mattered. Her parents were rich and treated like royalty throughout the community. She thought her senior year of high school was going perfectly, until the night her drink was spiked at a party by one of her so called friends. That was the night she met Chase McCree. Chase wanted to go back to Montana. To the ranch and the wild, wide blue sky that went on forever. He wanted nothing to do with flashy cars or spoiled rich kids. But he found himself head over boots for the quirky cheerleader who turned her back on her social status. She befriended him when no one else would. Shunned and hurt by the people who were once her friends, Briar flees with Chase to his family ranch in Montana. There she discovers another world, and apart of herself she never knew. The cowboy wasn’t like anyone she’d ever met. The cheerleader wasn’t like anyone he’d ever met. Apart their lives didn’t seem to make sense, but together, they were chasing forever. less

Chase and Briar and the rest of the McCree's are gearing up for 4th of July fun. It is a short story, under 10,000 words, and starts right before the epilogue in Chasing McCree.

Being back in the Sunshine State wasn’t something Briar Thompson was looking forward to, but it was Christmas and she couldn’t wait to see her grandparents. The second she landed in Florida with her boyfriend, Chase McCree, she was accepting an invitation to one of her parents’ fancy parties. Her Montana cowboy soon finds himself wearing a tux, and it seems that this Christmas isn’t exactly filled with holiday cheer. This is a novella in the Chasing McCree series
