Christmas Anthology features the western theme by three talented
authors. In COLORADO
WIFE by Cheryl St. John, Rosalyne Emery becomes the
caretaker for two orphaned children. Believing that the
wealthy businessman Sam Calhoun is responsible for their
parent's death, she is determined to make him pick up the ball.
Sam, however, is stunned when Rosalyne enters his home
and lets everyone believe she is his fiancée.
He's more than happy to continue the charade, but it
quickly becomes more than just a ruse as true feelings begin to
emerge just in time for Christmas.
In
JUBAL'S GIFT by Elizabeth Lane, Jubal Trask has spent the
last ten years to pay back a debt. He has to revenge his
old sweetheart's death by killing his former best friend.
When the war ended, Jubal had let the world and his old love
believe him dead - what good was a one armed crippled man to a
woman, anyway? He hadn't expected his beloved Lorena to
marry Thomas and end up in some edge of the world shack where
she died giving birth to a third child. Going back wasn't
easy, especially when Thomas' lovely sister, Tess, greeted him
and began making him feel again. Only when Jubal lets go
of the past does he receive the greatest gift of all on
Christmas Eve.
UNTIL
CHRISTMAS by Mary Burton is a charming romantic story
set in the mining area of Colorado. When Laura Butler
loses her grandfather in a mining accident, she decides to sell
the mine to his manager, Roman Maddox. Roman has wanted
Laura ever since he first laid eyes on her seven months ago.
Now she's planning to leave to go back to Virginia. He has
four days until Christmas to change her mind. Laura
doesn't want to love Roman, to risk losing him in the mines as
she did her grandfather. However, deep down, she has
always wanted Roman, and the holidays take on a special magic as
she realizes that she can't run away from love.
Delightful
reading, each short story has its own wonderful allure and
romance revolving around Christmas.
In COLORADO WIFE, the children bring a special
flavor into the mix. JUBAL'S GIFT tells the story
of forgiveness and the return of old friends. UNTIL
CHRISTMAS has an especially steamy undercurrent flowing
through it. Every story is a great little read and has a
very Christmas-like atmosphere that will lift your spirits.
