'This Texas Ranger's loyalty will be tested.

'Andy Matthews is a third generation Texas Ranger. Known locally as the Texan Devils, Andy has always been one of the good guys. But this Christmas, his loyalties will be tested.

'All Andy wants is a quiet Christmas, and snow is building. Left to man Ranger HQ while his bosses are chasing a fugitive, he deals with small time crimes, staffing issues and runs into his high school sweetheart, Ella Harding, supplying Christmas wreaths for his units.

'When he gets the call that something isn't quite right over at the Kinland Creek homestead and that Ella might be involved, Andy heads out, despite crossing over his jurisdiction line. When he arrives at Kinland Creek, he discovers a lot of missing cattle, Ella's car, and no Ella.

'Tracking her into the woodlands, he worries about the coming snowstorm, and a set of tracks that lead after Ella's into the forest.'
