Christmas in a Cowboy's Arms

The Old West takes on a holiday glow as six of the genre's favorite historical authors join forces in this delightful anthology of short stories and novellas (some linked to the authors' other series) overflowing with cowboys, family, and a welcome sparkle of festive warmth. A man on the run finds love—and more—in "Father Christmas," Greenwood's clever spin on the Christmas story; in Rosanne Bittner's realistic, child-centric "A Chick-a-Dee Christmas," a notorious fast gun-gone-straight keeps his family safe and a young hothead from going astray; a disillusioned drifter finds belonging when a young woman drags him in from the snow in Linda Broday's poignant heart-warmer "The Christmas Stranger"; a Texas Ranger and a widow who vows never to marry another Ranger find each other in Margaret Brownley's touching "A Texas Ranger for Christmas"; Anna Schmidt's insightful novella "A Christmas Baby" sees a young couple fight family and prejudice; and a pair separated by treachery years earlier sort out the past in "A Christmas Reunion," a spirited entry by Amy Sandas.
