The Mistletoe Promise — Sharla Lovelace

In these Texas-set stories of romance and adventure, the Civil War is over, Christmas is coming -- and it's time for three rugged fighters to become lovers . . .

A catastrophic storm, an ailing herd, and a failing cattle ranch have left Texas rancher Josie Bancroft in danger of losing everything her father worked for. Still, she'd rather die than merge with her neighbor rancher Benjamin Mason, the man who broke her heart years ago, on Christmas Eve. As old sparks fly and secrets are revealed, however, Ben is determined to help Josie -- and prove that this time around can be different. That the misunderstandings of Christmas past need not define their future . . .
