A COWBOY’S CHRISTMAS GIFT
A Marrying a McCabe Romance
by Cathy Gillen Thacker

A single dad gets his Christmas wish!

Wrangling five-year-old quadruplets makes Christmas four times the fun for rancher Alex McCabe! And this year he’s received an unexpected gift in the prettiest package he’s ever seen—traveling chef Kate Taylor. He unknowingly hired his former crush for a three-day contract. But he’s soon wishing she’d stay in Laramie County, Texas, forever. 

Kate has never forgotten the gorgeous cowboy she befriended eight years ago. And with homemade ornaments, stockings and a sweet, loving family, Alex is giving her the holidays she always secretly wanted. Falling for all five of them is easier than pumpkin pie. But are they just caught up in the magic of the season, or could their love last a lifetime?

THE PERFECT PASS
Texas Forever After
by New York Times bestselling author Teri Wilson

The new head coach
Is about to get schooled

A hero’s welcome awaits NFL bad boy Jackson Knight in Bishop Falls. The Texas town lives and breathes football, and they’re thrilled to have Jackson as their temporary high school coach while he rehabs his torn ACL—and his battered image. But one person isn’t rolling out the red carpet. Journalist Calla Dunne knows the damage football can do, and she’s not cutting the coach any slack. Jackson’s trained all his life to push through every obstacle stacked against him. But conquering Calla’s heart will take a fight like none he’s ever faced…to claim a reward sweeter than any prize.

AUTUMN NIGHTS, HOLIDAY LIGHTS
Sugar Maple Farms
By Elle Douglas

The snow may be fake, but could the romance be real?

Christmas in August? Sunset County is decked out for the holidays—fake snow and all! Maya Monroe can’t believe her novel is being turned into a Christmas movie. Except the “acclaimed” director, Will Hastings, is Maya’s ex. The man who broke her heart via text, and clearly knows nothing about romance, is directing her dream project.

Will never imagined he’d be filming a Christmas romance—especially one based on his ex’s book. But Will’s determined to complete the job, even though Maya keeps interfering with his creative choices—and his heart. In this staged winter wonderland, their feelings are stealing the show. Can Will and Maya heal their past for a second chance to be the lead couple in their real-life romance?

HER CHRISTMAS FLAME
Hearts on Main Street
by Kaylie Newell

The prodigal daughter returns to Christmas Bay
With a secret daughter of her own!

Cora Sawyer could never forget the small-town sweetheart she left behind, not with her daughter—their daughter—as a reminder. Back then, she doubted Neil Prescott was ready for fatherhood. She’s still not sure, but the choice is out of her hands when she returns to Christmas Bay…and Neil learns the truth. The boy Cora left behind is now a hunky firefighter who’s as good as ever at making her heart skip a beat. But when he looks at her, he can’t see past his anger. It may just take a little holiday magic to lead them to forgiveness…and love.
