A COWBOY BY CHRISTMAS
The Bluegrass Blackwells
by USA TODAY bestselling author Anna J. Stewart

Christmas cookies and cocoa
With the enemy!


Heading home for Christmas wasn’t one of US Marshal Matt Blackwell’s action items. But with his family’s Kentucky horse farm in the throes of a race-fixing scandal, he needs to find the culprit. Special investigator Eve Winchester is also in Gold Finch to uncover the facts. And the no-nonsense city girl won’t be swayed by inconvenient feelings for the far-too-attractive enemy, or wooed by the charming town’s warmth and Christmas cheer. But the connection between them is as irresistible as frosted sugar cookies with sprinkles. And teaming up may be the best way to learn the truth. Solving the mystery is their goal, but love could be an unexpected gift this Christmas!
 
AMISH COUNTRY CHRISTMAS
An Amish Antiques Shop Romance
By New York Times bestselling author Patricia Johns

‘Tis the season…
To start over?


Widowed detective Tim Granger had not expected to return to his hometown of Apfelkuchen, Pennsylvania, or be reunited with Elaine Fairfield, the woman who once held his heart. But he’s determined to give his young son, Oliver, a magical Christmas, and Elaine—Oliver’s second-grade teacher—offers to help. As the three of them discover the joys of Christmas in Amish Country, it becomes clear that something is worrying their Amish neighbors. Can Tim and Elaine make sure that everyone has a happy holiday while rediscovering their own friendship…or maybe even a second chance at forever?

SONGS, SNOW AND MISTLETOE
A River’s Bend Romance
by Elle Douglas

A small-town Christmas
Can bring unexpected fun!


Adele Quinn’s new event-planning business hangs by a thread when the headliner for her holiday festival cancels. Enter Sterling Chase, last-minute replacement. The rising country star’s soulful voice and down-to-earth charm add a spark of magic to the season—and more than a flutter to Adele’s pulse. Even though she’s sworn off dating. A single mom, Adele has worked hard to give her two young children a stable life in River’s Bend, the only home she can imagine. Sterling’s great with her kids and his concert kick-starts both their careers, but dreams pull them in opposite directions. Can Sterling convince her to take a chance on love that could make this Christmas truly the most special time of the year?

THE HOLIDAY PROMISE
A Chapel Cove Romance
by Lisa Dodson

Here come the holidays…
And the bride!


Fifteen years ago, Brianna Montgomery left small-town Chapel Cove and never looked back. But with her father’s sudden illness, and Griffin Lane, her childhood best friend, asking her to return, Brianna can’t find it in her heart to refuse. Now she’s surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the holiday season while trying to come to terms with the life she left behind and the friend she abandoned. Yet the biggest surprise this Christmas isn’t what’s under the tree but discovering that to protect her family’s business, she’ll need to get married. Brianna can think of only one man she wants to take her down the aisle, but after all this time, will Griffin say I do?
