Her Christmas Cowboy — Linda Baten Johnson

Elizabeth's dreams of having a loving husband and family have been replaced with the practical reality of a spinsterhood life. But her secret wishes are renewed when she receives a letter from her sister who is homesteading in Texas. She hints she has found the perfect spouse for Elizabeth, a Texas cowboy. Maybe God does have a man for Elizabeth, but in Texas, not Missouri. When self-sufficient Jesse Lovett shows up to escort Elizabeth to Texas, the two clash on every issue. Then, on the trip, Jesse needs Elizabeth's help, and her strength and ingenuity impress the tough cowboy. When they reach Texas, she meets the man she believes she is destined to marry, but will she be able to share her love and her life with him? As she looks toward the future, she realizes that her heart still longs for her personal image of Her Christmas Cowboy.
