Betrayed by her fiancé and facing an unexpected pregnancy, Alice Bennett sells her apartment, packs whatever pride she has left, and does the only sensible thing: run far, far away for the Christmas holidays. Her destination? The cozy — and utterly isolated — Snowfall Creek Ranch, a countryside holiday resort in the heart of Texas. What she didn’t expect was to meet a host so… unbearable. Marco Hill, the owner of the ranch, is a grumpy, quiet, widowed cowboy. He carries deep scars and a pain that turned Christmas into his worst nightmare. To his employees, he’s loyal. To his guests, he’s polite. To Alice, however… he’s impossible. But only until she smiles. With her light humor, charming messiness, and a strength she doesn’t even realize she has, Alice slowly begins to spark warmth where Marco swore he would live in the dark. He tries to keep his distance. She tries to stay focused. But the ranch’s Christmas traditions, the silent snowy nights, and a chemistry neither of them wants to admit pull their guarded hearts closer than either expected. Between sparks, funny arguments, accidental touches, teasing, and secrets, Alice and Marco discover that… Sometimes, the best family is the one life rebuilds — even when it starts with heartbreak, an unexpected baby, and one very grumpy cowboy. And this Christmas, at Snowfall Creek Ranch… love may reignite what once felt forever lost.

Kuntilanak.
Kalian kenal cewek cantik ini? Tentu tidak! Namun, kalian pasti tahu siapa dia.
Baiklah, aku akan ceritakan sebuah kisah tentang dia. Si Kuntilanak.
Banyak versi tentang dia. Ada yang mengatakan dia mati sewaktu melahirkan. Dia mati, anaknya pun meninggal. Ada juga yang mengisahkan dia mati sewaktu hamil, lalu melahirkan di dalam kuburan. Terlepas dari semua itu, aku memiliki kisah tersendiri. Tentunya akan membuat kalian penasaran dengan kisahnya.
Kuntilanak.
Mendengarnya saja sudah membuat bulu kuduk meremang. Bagaimana tidak? Saat aku menulis cerita ini, aku sedang berada di rumah kosong. Sendirian. Di kampung yang hanya dihuni oleh beberapa kepala keluarga.
Aku sengaja datang ke kampung ini, selain untuk menguji nyali aku juga ingin mendapatkan rasa takut yang benar-benar takut akan sosok tak kasat mata, yang sering dibicarakan orang banyak.
"Rumah ini dulunya dihuni oleh Rarashati dan ibunya, Nyai Romlah. Pasca Nyai Romlah meninggal, tinggallah si Rara di rumah ini sendirian. Sayang seribu sayang. Sebulan setelah kematian ibunya, Rara juga meninggal. Tidak ada yang tahu pasti apa penyebab kematiannya. Namun, semua penduduk meyakini dia meninggal karena kesepian dan putus asa. Memang tidak ada ditemukan tindak kekerasan di tubuhnya. Hanya saja ada yang aneh ketika dia dimandikan. Perutnya terlihat membuncit. Padahal tubuhnya kurus kering.
Semua orang mengira mungkin Rara mengidap busung lapar. Sehingga abai dengan perihal tersebut. Sampai akhirnya sehari setelah dikubur, warga yang melintas di kuburan baru tersebut mendengar tangisan bayi. Mengeak-ngeak di malam buta. Mereka bergegas ke arah sumber suara. Mendapati kuburan seperti habis diacak-acak. Seolah-olah ada yang keluar dari dalam lubang. Parahnya, mayat Rarashati terlihat menggantung di dahan pohon beringin yang menaungi kuburan tersebut. Tanpa kain kafan, tanpa sehelai benang pun menutupi tubuh telanjangnya. Dan yang paling mengherankan, dia memeluk sesosok bayi yang sedang menyusu di payudaranya."
Aku sampai menahan napas mendengar cerita Bapak Kepala Desa. Nyaliku nyaris ciut. Bagaimana kalau nanti itu hantu mendatangiku?
Duh, merinding sebadan-badan.

A Christmas Baby for the Cowboy Billionaire 100. Alice Benette
Saturday morning dawned clear and golden, as if the sky knew it was a special day. I sat on the cabin porch with a cup of tea in my hands, watching the commotion below, feeling the soft breeze on my face.Five years. Five years since my life changed forever.And there they were—the living proof of that change. Rosa and Luna ran through the garden, their tiny cowboy boots kicking up dust, their flowery dresses flying behind them like wings. At five years old, they were already two little imps, each with their own marked personality: Rosa, the oldest, talkative and stubborn just like her father; Luna, quieter, more observant, with a smile that lit up the world."MOMMY!" Rosa shouted from the grass. "DADDY IS GOING TO DO A SURPRISE!""Surprise?" I raised an eyebrow.Marco appeared at the cabin door, a shovel in his hand and a mysterious smile on his face. He had aged well—his hair now with a few gray strands at the temples, the same strong hands that held me on the road so many years ago.

Five years later, the ranch was more alive than ever.I sat on the cabin porch with a cup of coffee in my hand, watching the scene below like someone watching the best movie of their life. The morning sun bathed the garden in golden tones, and the smell of flowers and wet earth filled the air.And there they were.Rosa and Luna ran across the lawn, their tiny cowboy boots kicking up small dust clouds, their flowery dresses flying behind them like flags of freedom. Rosa, the oldest, pulled her sister by the hand, her blonde hair—just like their mother's—flying back. Luna, more observant, stopped every now and then to point at something—a butterfly, a flower, a cloud with a funny shape."CATCH US, GRANDMA!" Rosa shouted, laughing.There came Rosa, our grandmother, with her now completely white hair and a colorful apron, running after her great-granddaughters with impressive energy. In her seventies, she was still the strongest woman I knew."I'm going to catch you, you little pests!" sh

The pain was like a giant wave, coming and going, each time stronger, each time closer. I screamed, pushed, breathed, all at once, while Marco's hand squeezed mine with a strength I didn't know he had."I'm here," he kept repeating, his voice failing. "I'm here, love. You're going to make it.""It hurts," I moaned between contractions. "It hurts so much.""I know. But you're strong. The strongest woman I know."The doctor, a gray-haired woman with steady hands, spoke calmly."One more push, Mrs. Hill. Baby A is crowning. Come on, one more."I took a deep breath, gathered every ounce of strength I had left, and pushed.The scream that came out of me wasn't human. It was a mother's scream. A lioness. A woman bringing life into the world.And then, a cry.Thin, strong, beautiful."It's a girl!" the doctor announced, lifting a small, red, perfect being. "Congratulations, Mrs. Hill."I broke down in tears. Marco

The morning started like any other. I woke up to the smell of coffee coming from the kitchen and the sound of Fiona clucking in the henhouse, demanding her morning feed. Alice was beside me, her huge belly rising and falling slowly, her blonde hair spread across the pillow.I kissed her forehead without waking her and went downstairs to make coffee. Rosa was already in the kitchen, stirring pots with her usual wooden spoon."Good morning, my grandson," she hummed. "Pancakes today.""Smells good.""Sit down. Almost ready."I sat at the table, and for a moment everything was calm, perfect, normal.That's when we heard the scream."MARCO!"The sound came from upstairs, sharp, desperate. I dropped my cup before it hit the table and ran up the stairs, my heart racing.Alice was sitting up in bed, her hands gripping her belly, her face pale and sweaty."What is it?" I knelt in front of her, holding her face. "What happe

The morning after the wedding dawned golden and lazy, as if the sun itself knew we deserved to rest. I woke up in Marco's cabin—our cabin—with my body sore from so much dancing and my heart so full it felt like it might overflow.Marco was still sleeping beside me, a heavy arm draped over my belly,

Marco:The party took place in the garden, under a sky that seemed painted especially for us—blue sprinkled with pink clouds, as if God himself were a romantic artist. Long tables covered with white cloths displayed mountains of food: Rosa's famous pasta, of course, but also pies, salads, fruits, a
