Lionhearted—Diana Palmer

As the holiday season approaches, the residents of Jacobsville, Texas, are whispering about Janie Brewster’s hopeless crush on Leo Hart. Up until now, all her efforts to lasso the dynamic cattleman had crumbled quicker than the mouthwatering biscuits the Hart men coveted. But this time bold Janie knows the perfect way to dazzle Leo: become a courageous cowgirl! Though her sudden transformation gets the wrong reaction from Leo, the last Hart bachelor begins to see her in a new light. Perhaps some Christmas magic will be just the thing Leo needs to warm up to Janie.

Christmas Guardian—Delores Fossen

Despite his dark past and dangerous edge, Jordan Taylor fell for the helpless infant left on his Texas doorstep with a frantic plea for help. The millionaire security agent had built a fortress around baby Gus...or so he thought until Kinley Ford showed up at Christmas fourteen months later.

Kinley wanted only to see her son; instead she’d led the killers on her heels straight to Gus. Killers who wouldn't hesitate to use him as the ultimate pawn. Kinley got to Jordan’s heart, and after a lifetime of loss, he vowed to sacrifice everything to protect his surrogate son and the woman who’d ensnared him. Everything. Even his life.
