    Christmastime on Donner’s Mountain by Laura Strickland

    Love Christmas Romance? Authors share their best @laurarmcneil @LauraSt05038951 @melissamcclone #ChristmasRomance #RLFblogFor 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

    Love Christmas Romance? Authors share their best @laurarmcneil @LauraSt05038951 @melissamcclone #ChristmasRomance #RLFblogAt 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?

Then her unexpected death brought him face-to-face with his former lover, and the guilt he’d carried for years.
    Stefan is still in love with Laura and wants to give her everything she deserves. He and Maria are racing against time to convince Laura to stay with them in New York.

    Magdalena’s Christmas Rake – Thomas Eddington comes home for

    invited his childhood nemesis, “Mad Maddie” Winslow, to act as
    chaperone to the eligible debutantes. For her part, Magdalena Winslow hopes to

    not afraid to let him know it.
    Christmas Promise – When skaters at a Christmas house party
    find a dead man beneath the ice, the squeamish local magistrate relies on Eve

    About the Authors

    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.
