A CHRISTMAS GROOM by Stacey Coverstone
Having fought nearly three years for the Confederacy, Captain Tom McCann returns to Arizona Territory just in time for Christmas with plans to marry his sweetheart and buy a ranch. More than one surprise awaits him, however…including the news that Mariah is to be wed on Christmas Day. Shock at Mariah’s decision grips him, but he gradually realizes that everyone believed him to have been killed in the war.
Heartsick at the promise she’s made to another, Mariah feels honor-bound to go through with her wedding. But Tom’s waited too long to get back to his one true love and his dream of owning his own spread to give up without a fight. Now, the entire town waits to see who will be A CHRISTMAS GROOM…
WIDELOOPING A CHRISTMAS COWBOY by Livia J. Washburn
When Clay Terrell rescues Jessamine Barlow from a Comanche raiding party, he has no idea how much trouble he’s letting himself in for—because once the beautiful blonde dons range duds and buckles on a gunbelt, she’s also known as Jess Barlow, leader of a fierce outlaw clan. Clay may have to choose between defending his range or protecting the family of the woman who has stolen his heart. Jess knows Clay will be better off without her and figures the best way to repay him is to make sure he doesn’t have a chance to fall for her. But when they wind up under the mistletoe on Christmas Eve, what comes next may make it impossible for the two of them to ever be apart!
ANOTHER AULD LANG SYNE by Donna Alice Patton
It's Christmas Eve, and Hudson Meade is hurrying home to his family. A brief stop in Stockton to escape the biting cold for a few moments leads him to an unexpected meeting with an old flame he’d thought never to see again. Will seeing Aurelia again and the memories of another long-ago Christmas Eve leave him with regrets about what might have been? One last parting kiss under the mistletoe results in yet ANOTHER AULD LANG SYNE…and his eager desire to be in the arms of the one he truly loves beyond all reason…
SILVER AND GOLD by Kaye Spencer
Bad luck and wrong turns make up the greater part of ex-con Joe Halden’s past. When he learns he has a five-year-old son Joe knows he can do something right by giving the boy a decent home. But the only way he can save him is to employ the trade that landed him in prison—explosives expert. Sydney Allard’s heart is hardened against the townspeople she blames for her husband’s death. When a fire destroys the town near Christmas, Sydney wants to continue harboring her hatred, but her conscience won’t let her.
Two strangers share a journey of self-discovery. In this season of SILVER AND GOLD, the hurts of the past can lead to love if they open their hearts and give their trust to each other.
THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS GIFT by Gail L. Jenner
Katherine Jessup has come west with her dashing, perfect husband—but she is devastated when he leaves her to seek his fortune. R.J. Crawford has traveled west to escape his own past. After rescuing Katherine Jessup from a fall, he finds himself entranced by the young bride. When he takes a job as a sheriff, he must bring a murderer to justice—and that trail leads him back to Katherine and the hope that he can provide her with THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS GIFT.
EVERY KNEE SHALL BEND by Tanya Hanson
When vagabond Alder Dale arrives at his brother's Colorado homestead for Christmas, last thing he expects to find is a beautiful widow raising kids who don’t belong to her. Suddenly, the wide-open range he loves seems cold and lonely. Walls and hearth call out to him.
Mail-order bride Sadie Dahlstrom leaves Kansas for a new life, unprepared for widowhood. When she tends the war wound of a rugged, yet gentle, stranger, her heart swells with a warmth far different from a Christmas fireplace. Can her journey have a happy ending after all? It’s said that miracles happen on Christmas…

ReplyDeleteChristmas, a 'surprise', and love in the Old West -- a wonderfully romantical combination. *wink*
DeleteFOR SURE, Kaye! And I loved your logline about only wanting a bag of dynamite for Christmas! What is more romantic than dynamite? LOL Great story--all of them were!
DeleteIf diamonds are a girl's best friend, maybe dynamite is a guy's best friend...especially when you plan to blow things to smithereens. ;-)
DeleteLove reading box sets or series in books. Thanks for the chance to win
ReplyDeleteSix stories and just a smidgen over six weeks until Christmas... Coincidence? *grin* It's like a story-a-week countdown until Christmas.
