Book excerpt: A Lawman's Christmas The sudden death of the town marshal leaves Blue River, Texas, without a lawman...and twenty-five-year-old Dara Rose Nolan without a husband. Now as winter approaches and her meager seamstress income dwindles, she doesn't have many options options. Unfortunately, she must decide -- soon -- because there's a new marshal in town, and she's living under his roof. Clay McKettrick plans to start a ranch and finally settle down. He isn't interested in uprooting Dara Rose and her children, but he is interested in giving her friendship and -- if she'll let him -- passion. And when they say 'I do' to a marriage of convenience, the temporary lawman's Christmas wish is to make Dara Rose his wife for good... An Outlaw's Christmas With his wild heart, Sawyer McKettrick isn't ready to settle down on the family ranch. So he heads to Blue River, Texas, to seek a job as marshal. But in a blinding snowstorm he's injured -- and collapses into the arms of a prim and proper lady. The shirtless, bandaged stranger recuperating in teacher Piper St. James's room behind the schoolhouse says he's a McKettrick, but he looks like an outlaw to her. As they wait out the storm, the handsome loner has Piper remembering long-ago dreams of marriage and motherhood. But for how long is Sawyer willing to call Blue River home? As the gray skies clear, Piper's one holiday wish just might bring two lonely hearts together forever. Coming Home After living for years in Seattle, coming home to the slow pace and rural beauty of Cassidy McCullough's hometown is a bit of a shock to the system. But not as big a shock, it turns out, as it is to see G.W. Benton again, and realising her attraction to him hasn't gone anywhere while she's been gone. Which is terribly inconvenient...after all, Cassidy's made the long trip home hoping her best friend can calm her doubts about her fiancé -- definitely not to resurrect the lifelong crush on the cowboy she's tried hard to forget. But something about the sunlight, the sweetness of the air, and being back amongst the ones she loves most has Cassidy seeing more clearly than she has in a long time, and wondering if it's time she stopped denying the truth in her heart.
