Four Christmas Romances to Warm the Heart AVOIDING THE MISTLETOE Desperate widow Olivia accepts a position as a mail-order bride, yet refuses to accept any male's proposal. Fighting demons of his own, Sheriff Stark sees a second chance for love. This widower vows to win the widow or die trying...and almost does. Olivia Rose Baker abandons her dying hometown in Massachusetts to become a mail-order bride in male-dominated Seattle, Washington. Her abusive husband died in the Civil War and left Olivia wary of marriage, so she hopes to take a teaching position rather than become a bride. But the man who purchased her ticket to Seattle insists she fulfill her contract and marry. Stark Macaulay, former Confederate and now Sheriff of Seattle, is smitten with Olivia. Stark, unlike all the rich men in Seattle, has nothing to offer Olivia but his love. But Olivia hates anything to do with the Confederacy. Both fight an uphill battle. Both clash with demons from the past. Both struggle with desperate futures. Will these strong-willed people gain a second chance at love? THE MATCHMAKING WIDOW Strong-minded widow Amber Bradford knows exactly what her three grown sons need-wives-and she determines to have her boys married by Christmas. When she announces an impending trip to seek brides for them, the Bradford men know they must derail their mother's scheme or polish their boots for their weddings. Doc Latham, Amber's oldest friend, answers the Bradford men's entreaty to try and dissuade their mother from her idea of December nuptials for them. Doc accompanies Amber on her matchmaking mission, where she enlists adventurous women eager to make a husband-hunting pilgrimage to Texas. Sparks fly when the matchmaker's sons and prospective brides meet, but not in the way she expects. So, she adjusts her strategy. Will Amber see her dream of a Christmas wedding fulfilled? IT'S THE RIGHT TIME FOR LOVE Baby boomer and widow, Angie Cooper, is determined to have a new design career in thriving McKinney, a hop, skip, and jump from Dallas. She wants independence in her golden years. Widower Jake Stewart loves his outdoor life on his sprawling ranch in Gunter, Texas, but being alone in the wide open spaces isn't all it's cracked up to be. He's ready to find a wife again. He's out of patience with courting desperate women from church. He prays for God to drop someone in his lap. And the Lord obliges. JINGLE BELLES AND CHRISTMAS BEAUS The joy of the Christmas season reminds young widow Dawn Sellers that she would love to have another fulfilling marriage. But how likely is that to happen with her current boyfriend, Peter, who works 24-7 inventing zany businesses and has little time for her? Even though he'll make millions from his Pup-Phone For Doggie Mommies. Dawn can't cope with this, can she? She has renewed hope when she meets a cute accountant, Herb. But, ohmygosh, Herb's got a disappointing, secret life and a gorgeous girlfriend, Felicia, who's almost young enough to be his daughter. Buckle up for a twisting and turning, madcap relationship ride!
