Four nostalgic, heart-warming Christmas romances to curl up with and enjoy.

ANNIE’S LETTER: (prequel to Lantern In The Window)
1885–WIFE WANTED, OLDER WOMAN, MUST HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF HOUSEWIFERY AND FARMING. OBJECT, MATRIMONY.
Annie answered Noah’s newspaper ad for a mail order wife because her deaf sister, Bets, was going to die if she went on working in Lazenby’s Cotton Mill.
Annie’s landlady, Elinora Potts, assured Annie that the not-so-little lies she told in her letters were necessary.

Does the end ever justify the means?

Elinora is certain it does.
BUT ANNIE IS TERRIFIED.

What will happen to her and Bets when Noah finds out the truth?

LANTERN IN THE WINDOW;
Annie, a young, desperate mail-order bride, who’s never laid eyes on a cow, marries Noah, a farmer who advertises for an experienced, older farm woman. And she also doesn’t mention that her deaf sister is part of the bargain.
But Noah isn’t honest either. His old, sick father needs cared for–and even Noah can’t deal with the old man’s anger and violence.
Needed-one big Christmas miracle!

CAROL’S CHRISTMAS;
December 23, 1914, in a small coal mining town deep in the Canadian Rockies.
What changes can a faraway war bring to a tiny coal mining town, and the woman who’s struggling to know herself?
Carol, with her two beautiful babies and the husband she adores, can’t help but envy Julia, the mysterious woman next door, who seems to have no worries about money.
Carol invites Julia and her husband to Christmas Eve supper, and learns that how others live might not be what she yearns for.

SNOW KISSED CHRISTMAS: 1903 IN A WESTERN COAL MINING TOWN.
Christmas Eve, snow, a new baby coming—and no money.
Deep in the Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, Anna lives with her husband, William, and her two young children, Sophie, 7, and Thomas, 5.
The underground coal mine where William works isn’t operating full time, and although they’ve made toys for Sophie and Thomas, Anna is frightened and sad, worried for her beloved family.

It’s snowing hard, and the world feels bleak and joyless.

IT WOULD TAKE A MIRACLE TO MAKE THIS STORMY CHRISTMAS MERRY.
Sometimes miracles can come in the most remarkable fashion.
And sometimes the angels that bring them are the most unlikely.
