CANE CREEK CHRISTMAS by Kay Cornelius
Rachel Taylor has more than a school-girl crush on teacher Matthew McNaught. In frontier Kentucky in 1806, their four-year age difference is inconsequential. But when widower Asa Fletcher seeks her hand in marriage, and Matthew mysteriously leaves town, Rachel finds her world turned upside down. Can true love still shine?

BITTERSWEET by Rebecca Germany
Grace Rudman can't believe the change in David Matthews. He's more confident and mature since leaving rural Tappan, Ohio for an auto-working job in Michigan -much more appealing, in fact, than when she rejected his proposal of marriage eighteen months ago. During the holidays, their paths cross once again, and she begins to have second thoughts. But is David still interested?

A CHRISTMAS GIFT OF LOVE by Darlene Mindrup
Rose Johnson has lost the most important man in her life-her father. At age thirty-five, she is now alone on the forlorn prairies of the Dakota territory. Alone, except for her father's forty-year-old friend Ward. When Ward proposes a marriage of convenience, Rose is stunned. Will she accept this gift of love?

HONOR OF THE BIG SNOWS by Colleen Reece
Caitlin's solemn vow compelled her to cross the ocean in search of Mickey O'Rourke. From her home in Ireland to the great expanses of Canada she has searched for Mickey, but as she nears his trail, the brawny Sergeant Angus Mackenzie, tracking Mickey as a suspected thief, interferes. The Mounties always get their man, but will Angus also capture Caitlin's heart?
