The Matchmaking Widow — Linda Baten Johnson

Strong-minded widow Amber Bradford knows exactly what her three grown sons need -- wives -- and she determines to have her boys married by Christmas. When she announces an impending trip to seek brides for them, the Bradford men know they must derail their mother's scheme or polish their boots for their weddings. Doc Latham, Amber's oldest friend, answers the Bradford men's entreaty to try and dissuade their mother from her idea of December nuptials for them. Doc accompanies Amber on her matchmaking mission, where she enlists adventurous women eager to make a husband-hunting pilgrimage to Texas. Sparks fly when the matchmaker's sons and prospective brides meet, but not in the way she expects. So, she adjusts her strategy. Will Amber see her dream of a Christmas wedding fulfilled?
