Christmastime on Donner’s Mountain by Laura Strickland
For most of her life, Becca Monroe’s been running. The urge to see what lay beyond the next horizon took her away from Donner’s Mountain and the man she loved. Now, back for what will surely be her grandfather’s last Christmas, she’s caught in a tangle of unresolved emotions that leave her torn between the impulse to flee and the desire to stay.
Jack Donner never stopped loving Becca, even though she deserted him. Better than anyone else, he knows how cruel it would be to fetter her wild spirit, and he doubts she could ever be happy living in one place, on his mountain.
Can memories of Christmases past remind Becca what truly matters? And can love convince Jack to give her one more chance, even if it means risking his battered heart?

The Wish Maker by Melissa McClone
At Christmas, sometimes even impossible wishes come true…
One word changed Wes Lockhart’s life forever. Cancer. Fighting for his life completely flipped his priorities, making him realize he wanted—no, needed—to use his billions to help others find the kind of second chance he’d been given. The first person he intended to help? The beautiful, kind, and dedicated oncologist who got him through his treatments and ushered him into remission. And what better time than the holidays to become her not-so-secret Santa?
Dr. Paige Regis has spent her entire career helping others, often at the expense of her personal life. She’d love to start a family of her own—but with her current patients and her plans to open a brand-new cancer center, it seems like an impossible dream. It’s not until she reconnects with the charming Wes that she realizes he might just be the man to make all her Christmas wishes come true.
Can Wes and Paige open their hearts to the magic of the season—and each other—to get a shot at their very own Christmas miracle? Or will past hurts and doubts end their happily ever after before it even begins?

As the blizzard rages, Edward discovers there’s more to Miranda than a lively wit and a lovely face. And Miranda wonders if the trappings of
wealth are enough for true happiness.

Hannah Meredith, Anna D.
Allen, and Kate Parker are three “mature” women whose imaginations
are happiest in the past. Kate writes historical mysteries and currently has
three series available. Hannah and Anna write primarily historical romance,
although both of them have been known to wander into other genres. This is the
third Christmas anthology in which all three have participated. Hannah lives in
a small town with a big library in the Coastal Plains of NC. Anna resides in
the deep woods of Michigan where she loves to cook and collect old cookware.
Kate lives in a historic town in Eastern NC and studies poisons, much to the
discomfort of her husband. All have individually won various awards, although
since none of them was a Nobel Prize for Literature, they’re not mentioning
them.Author Social Media for each author
