A Lawman's Christmas

"Linda Lael Miller creates vibrant characters and stories I defy you to forget." -Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author Love comes home for the holidays in this classic McKettrick tale from #1 New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller The sudden death of the town marshal leaves Blue River, Texas, without a lawman…and twenty-five-year-old Dara Rose Nolan without a husband. As winter approaches and her meager seamstress income dwindles, she has three possible options. But giving up her two young daughters, joining the fallen women of the Bitter Gulch Saloon and condemning herself to another loveless marriage are impossible to imagine. Unfortunately, she must decide-soon-because there's a new marshal in town, and she's living under his roof. With the heart of a cowboy, Clay McKettrick plans to start a ranch and finally settle down. He isn't interested in uprooting Dara Rose and her children, but he is interested in giving her protection, friendship and-if she'll let him-passion. And when they say "I do" to a marriage of convenience, the temporary lawman's Christmas wish is to make Dara Rose his wife for good… When Cassidy McCullough returns to her rural Arizona hometown from her busy life in Seattle, it's to plan her wedding-definitly not to resurrect the lifelong crush on the cowboy she's always tried to forget.
