Caroline's Child

What would make your Christmas perfect?

For Cassie Beaumont, it's meeting her perfect match. Cassie, at thirty–three, wants a husband and kids, and so far, nothing's worked. Not blind dates, not the Internet and certainly not leaving love to chance.

What other options are there? Well…she could hire a professional matchmaker. Simon Dodson has quite a reputation, but he's very choosy about the clients he takes on – and very expensive. Cassie considers him a difficult, acerbic know–it–all, and she's astonished when he accepts her as a client.

Claiming he has her perfect mate in mind, Simon assigns her three tasks to complete before she meets this paragon. Three tasks that are all about Christmas: being a charity bell–ringer, dressing up as Santa's elf at a mall and preparing a traditional turkey dinner for her neighbours (most of whom she happens to dislike). Cassie does it all – and then she's finally ready to meet her match.

But just like the perfect Christmas gift, her perfect match turns out to be a wonderful surprise!

Includes a bonus story, Can This Be Christmas?

Knitting is a lot like life dropped stitches and all!

Knitting and life. They're both about beginnings– and endings. That's why it makes sense for Lydia Goetz, owner of A Good Yarn on Seattle's Blossom Street, to offer a class called Knit to Quit. It's for people who want to quit something– or someone!– and start a new phase of their lives.

First to join is Phoebe Rylander. She recently ended her engagement to a man who doesn't know the meaning of faithful, and she's trying to get over him. Then there's Alix Turner. She and her husband, Jordan, want a baby, which means she has to quit smoking. And Bryan Hutchinson joins the class because he needs a way to deal with the stress of running his family's business– not to mention the lawsuit brought against him by an unscrupulous lawyer. Life can be as complicated as a knitting pattern. Just ask Anne Marie Roche. She and her adopted daughter, Ellen, finally have the happiness they wished for. And then a stranger comes to her bookstore asking questions.

Or ask Lydia herself. Not only is she coping with her increasingly frail mother, but she and Brad have unexpectedly become foster parents to an angry, defiant twelve–year–old.

But as Lydia already knows, when life gets difficult and your stitches are snarled, yourfriends can always help!

On the anniversary of his beloved wife Hannah's death, Dr. Michael Everett receives a letter from her. In it she reminds him of her love and makes one final, seemingly impossible request. “I want you to marry again.” To that end, she asks him to consider three women.

First on Hannah's list is her cousin, Winter Adams, a trained chef who owns Blossom Street's French Café. The second is Leanne Lancaster, Hannah's oncology nurse. Michael knows them both. But the third name is one he's not familiar with Macy Roth.

Each woman has her own heartache, her own private grief. More than a year earlier, Winter broke off her relationship with another chef. Leanne is divorced from a man who defrauded the hospital for which she works. And Macy lacks family of her own, the family she craves.

During the months that follow, Michael spends time with Winter, Leanne and Macy, learning more about each of them and more about himself. Learning what Hannah already knew. That he's a man who needs the completeness only love can offer. And Hannah's list leads him to the woman who can help him find it.

Practical Jenna Campbell has done something impractical. She’s met a man on the Internet and now, a month before Christmas, she’s going to Alaska to marry him. Dalton Gray seems to be everything she wants in a husband – sensitive, gallant, romantic...

Return to Promise, Texas, a ranching community deep in the Hill Country, in book 4 of this classic series by No.1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.

They call her Dr. Texas. She's Jane Dickinson, a newly graduated physician from California who's working at the Promise clinic but just for a couple of years. Then she'll head home. They call him Mr. Grouch. Cal Patterson was left at the altar by his out-of-state fiancee, and he's not over it yet. Too bad Jane reminds him so much of the woman he's trying to forget.

Yes, there's a mystery or two hidden beneath Promise's everyday exterior, but what town doesn't have its secrets?

Luke Rivers was a man of his word

He'd agreed to marry Kate Logan–but she knew it was only out of pity. Only because she'd been so devastated when Clay Franklin, the man she'd always loved, married someone else.

In fact, it was at Clay's wedding to Rorie Campbell that Kate had rashly, foolishly proposed to Luke Rivers, the Logan foreman–turned–rancher. Now Luke refused to renege on his promise. Worse, he told Kate she didn't love Clay, she loved HIM.

Yes, but just as a friend, an older brother, she told him. Luke disagreed, insisting that he knew Kate's mind better than she did herself!

Dear Reader:

Guess what? I'm falling in love! With Mack McAfee.

My baby daughter, Noelle, and I have been living next door to Mack since the spring. I'm still a little wary about our relationship, since I haven't always made good decisions when it comes to men. My baby's father, David Rhodes, is testament to that. I'm so worried he might sue for custody.

In the meantime, the World War II letters I found are a wonderful distraction. Both Mack and I are trying to learn what happened to the soldier who wrote them and the woman he loved.

Come by sometime for a glass of iced tea and I'll show you the letters. Plus I'll tell you the latest about Grace and Olivia, my brother Linc and his wife, Lori (who tied the knot about 5 minutes after they met!), and all our other mutual friends. Oh, and maybe Mack can join us...

The Snow Bride - Debbie Macomber

Practical Jenna Campbell has done something impractical: she’s met a sensitive, gallant and romantic man on the internet and now, a month before Christmas, she’s going to Alaska to marry him. On the flight to Fairbanks, she has the misfortune to sit beside Reid Jamison, who obviously isn’t sensitive, gallant or romantic. However, he’s not impressed with her plan to marry Dalton, a man he detests. So Reid takes it upon himself to change her destination — and her marriage plans.

Which is why Jenna ends up at Reid’s cabin in tiny Snowbound, Alaska. It’s currently a one-woman town (and the other woman’s out of town). That leaves Reid, a bunch of eccentric old men, a few grizzly bears — and Jenna. Kidnapped! And then there’s a blizzard. With the two of them stranded in Snowbound, maybe she’ll be a Christmas bride, after all!

The Road To Christmas - Sheila Roberts

Michelle and Max are not planning on a happy holiday. Their marriage is in shambles, but now their youngest daughter, Julia, wants everyone to come to her new house in Idaho for Christmas, and she’s got the guest room all ready for Mum and Dad.

Their other daughters, Audrey and Shyla, are driving up from California and hoping to meet a sexy rancher for Audrey along the way. What they don’t plan on is getting stranded on a ranch when the car breaks down.

The ones with the shortest drive are Grandma and Grandpa — also known as Hazel and Warren. It’s still a bit of a trek, and Hazel doesn’t like the idea of driving all that way in snow, but Warren knows they’ll have no problem. They have a reliable car — and snow tires and chains if they need them. They’ll be fine.

Surprises lie in store for all three sets of intrepid travelers as they set out on three very different adventures, all leading to one memorable family Christmas.

Hug Me, Holly! - Jill Shalvis

Sheriff Riley McMann couldn’t believe his ears when Holly Stone announced that she’d be taking over the only café in Little Paradise. She looked as if she hadn’t worked a day in her life, and besides, he had to eat there! But he was soon working up quite an appetite for ‘Calamity Holly’ when he discovered there was more to her than designer clothes and an attitude. Maybe his Christmas wishes were going to come true after all…

Lonesome Cowboy - Debbie Macomber

He’s a stranger to the small town, a disenchanted drifting cowboy who may just change Savannah’s life — in the best possible way.

When attorney Steven Creed becomes guardian of an orphaned five-year-old boy, this bachelor trades his big-city law firm for a ranch in the close-knit community of Stone Creek, Arizona.

But when Steven takes on the pro bono defense of a local teen, he meets his match in the opposing counsel — beautiful, by-the-book county prosecutor Melissa O’Ballivan. It’ll take one grieving little boy, a sweet, adopted dog and a woman who never expected to win any man’s heart to make this Creed in Stone Creek know he’s truly found home.

A Royal Baby On The Way - Susan Mallery

All-pomp-no-play Princess Alexandra Wyndham got a royal wake-up call when a letter, alleging the rightful crown prince was alive, arrived at the palace, compelling her to travel to the ranch of the most majestic man she’d ever encountered…to find the brother she’d never known.

Cowboy Mitch Colton was tight-lipped when it came to the whereabouts of his elusive stepbrother — the suspected long-lost heir! — though he rather grudgingly opened his home to Alexandra. Then very passionately opened his arms and his heart. But would their romance survive their abiding differences…and the revelation of a royal baby on the way?

There’s Something About Christmas - Debbie Macomber

Emma Collins has always believed that the world is divided into two kinds of people: those who love fruitcake and those who don’t. She’s firmly in the second category, so it’s ironic that her first major assignment for the Puyallup, Washington, Examiner is a series of articles about…fruitcake. At least it’s a step up from writing obituaries.

Her task is to interview the finalists in a fruitcake recipe contest, and that means traveling around the state. Actually…flying around the state. Local pilot Oliver Hamilton, who’s starting an airfreight business, has agreed to take her wherever she needs to go, in exchange for free advertising. Unfortunately Emma hates small planes — almost as much as she hates fruitcake.

But in the weeks leading up to Christmas, Emma discovers Oliver is not quite the Scrooge he sometimes seems. It all reminds her that there’s something about Christmas. Something special…

Holly And Mistletoe - Susan Mallery

When firefighter Jordan Haynes rescues Holly Garrett’s mischievous cat, Mistletoe, from her burning apartment, he winds up in the hospital. Holly, a shy, innocent 28-year-old, feels so bad about Jordan’s injuries that she stops by his hospital bed and begins visiting him at home, as well. Soon she’s not only preparing his evening meals but also giving him sponge baths, and she definitely isn’t prepared for the sexy glances Jordan throws her way or the feelings that he awakens in her.

Jordan knows that Holly is awkward and inexperienced, but there’s something so bewitching about her, and he just can’t let her be alone for Christmas. No, he can play the needy patient for as long as it takes to convince Holly to keep him company through the holidays — if not longer.

Just Like The Ones We Used To Know - Brenda Novak

Angela Forrester’s foster child Kayla has just one wish for Christmas…to meet her real dad. Angela is determined to ensure Kayla gets her wish, even though Matt Jackson has no idea he has a child at all. When Angela meets Matt, she doesn’t have a chance to tell him about his little girl before sparks instantly fly between them, complicating matters. Will he turn tail and run when he learns the truth, or will he be the man and father they always dreamed of?

Lydia teaches knitting to beginners, and the first class is How to Make a Baby Blanket. Three women join.

Events seem to be conspiring against Samantha, and her mother's attempts to help aren't helping. To make matters worse, the fate of her company is in the hands of her archenemy, Blake Preston, the bank manager with the football–hero good looks. It's enough to drive her to chocolate. But Blake's also enough to convince her that–believe it or not–there's something even better than chocolate.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber will take you on a journey with three heartwarming Blossom Street stories of love, family and second chances.

Summer on Blossom Street

Knitting and life are both about beginnings–and endings. That's why Lydia Goetz, owner of A Good Yarn on Seattle's Blossom Street, offers a class called Knit to Quit.

Hannah's List

On the anniversary of his beloved wife's death, Dr. Michael Everett receives a letter Hannah wrote him. In it she reminds him of her love and makes one final request. An impossible request. I want you to marry again. She tells him he shouldn't spend the years he has left grieving–and she's chosen three women she asks him to consider. During the months that follow, he spends time with these three women, learning more about each of them…and about himself. Learning what Hannah already knew. He's a man who needs the completeness only love can offer. And Hannah's list leads him to the woman who can help him find it.

A Turn in the Road

In the middle of the year, in the middle of her life, Bethanne Hamlin takes a road trip with her daughter, Annie, and her former mother–in–law, Ruth. So, there they are, three women driving across America. They have their maps and their directions–but even the best–planned journey can take you to a turn in the road. Or lead to an unexpected encounter, like the day Bethanne meets a man named Max…

Down-home charm and romance on the ranch.

A Little Bit Country

Stranded on the side of a country road with a broken-down car, Rorie Campbell is grateful when horse rancher Clay Franklin comes to her rescue. Stuck in the quirky small town, Rorie gets to know Clay, and she quickly starts to fall for the gruff, tough cowboy. Can a city girl make it work with a country man? Clay certainly thinks so. But their situation is…complicated. Clay and Rorie will have to sort out their feelings if they’re going to be together.

Country Bride

Kate Logan is understandably devastated when her former fiancé marries someone else instead. At the wedding, after one glass of champagne, she spontaneously — foolishly — proposes to her longtime friend Luke Rivers. And Luke agrees. The rancher is a man of his word, and though Kate thinks they’re making a mistake, he will not renege on his promise. Not only does he refuse to break the engagement, he insists that Kate actually loves him — and he’ll prove it.

The Farmer Takes a Wife

Dave Stafford wants a wife, and he isn’t in a position to be choosy. Living in Buffalo Valley means there aren’t a whole lot of women to choose from! So he places an ad and waits for the flood of replies. Only Emma Fowler from Seattle responds. Her little boy needs a father, so she needs to find a husband — and quick! This could be a match made for convenience…but could it also be a match made in heaven?

Two classic stories of finding love where you least expect it!

Marriage Wanted

As far as Nash Davenport’s concerned, marriage isn’t shelter from the storm – it is the storm. He’s a divorce attorney, himself divorced, who believes no married couple can live up to their wedding vows. Savannah Charles, however, believes in the value – and the values – of marriage. She’s a wedding planner who finds herself saying yes when Nash unexpectedly proposes. Even though it’s strictly a business proposal...

My Hero

Would-be romance writer Bailey York has already failed twice at love. She thinks men are wonderful to read and write about, but that’s it. Which is probably why she has such difficulty creating a hero for her novel. What she needs is a real-life example. She finds one in Parker Davidson – he’s everything a hero should be. Compellingly attractive. Forceful and determined, yet capable of tenderness. A man of substance. Parker is perfect as Bailey’s inspiration – but he wants to be the hero in her life, not just in her book!

A very special wedding gown leads two women to find their perfect match in these two classic stories from No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.

The dress was made many years ago, and it came with a promise:

The First Man You Meet...

Shelly Hansen was horrified when her great-aunt’s wedding dress arrived – because, according to family legend, she was destined to marry the next man she met. So when she tripped on an escalator and fell into Mark Brady’s arms, she told him – and herself – that she wasn’t interested in marriage. But then she started seeing him everywhere...coincidence?

The Man You’ll Marry

After her own wedding, Shelly sends her best friend, Jill Morrison, the dress – which is delivered to Jill’s hotel in Hawaii. But at least the man Jill sat beside on the plane – gorgeous grouch Jordan Wilcox – can’t be the man in question, can he? She met him before she got the dress!

Savour again this classic romance about a single dad getting a second chance, from No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.

Then Paul makes an amazing discovery: he needs Leah, and he wants more than a stand-in wife.

What on earth does that mean? She’s pregnant and already has her hands full with the perfectly stubborn husband she’s got. Meanwhile Noel has given up completely on ever finding her perfect match. But apparently, she’s going to get a good man to go with that house she’s trying desperately to buy.

Two Tiny Heartbeats - Fiona McArthur

First-day baby bombshell!

Discovering she’s pregnant — with twins! — is not how midwife Lucy Palmer imagined her first day in her new job. Worse is that it took her gorgeous new colleague, Nikolai Kefes, to suggest a pregnancy test and scan. As they watch those tiny heartbeats on the monitor Lucy knows instantly that her two little babies are the only thing she can focus on.

Buffalo Valley, North Dakota. A second-chance town!

Like many small towns, Buffalo Valley is dying. Stores are boarded up, sidewalks are cracked, houses are in need of a coat of paint. But despite all that, there’s a spirit of hope here, of defiance. The few people still left here are fighting for their town.

The Snow Bride - Debbie Macomber

Practical Jenna Campbell has done something impractical. She’s met a man on the Internet and now, a month before Christmas, she’s going to Alaska to marry him. Dalton Gray seems to be everything she wants in a husband – sensitive, gallant, romantic...

On the flight to Fairbanks, she has the misfortune to sit beside Reid Jamison, who obviously isn’t sensitive, gallant or romantic. However, he’s not impressed with her plan to marry Dalton, a man he detests (for good reason, as Jenna later finds out). So Reid takes it upon himself to change her destination – and her marriage plans.

Which is why Jenna ends up at Reid’s cabin in tiny Snowbound, Alaska. It’s currently a one-woman town (and the other woman’s out of town). That leaves Reid, a bunch of eccentric old men, a few grizzly bears – and Jenna. Kidnapped! And then there’s a blizzard. The two of them alone, stranded in Snowbound...

Maybe she’ll be a Christmas bride, after all!

An Alaskan Christmas - Jennifer Snow

If there’s one gift Erika Sheraton does not want for Christmas, it’s a vacation. Ordered to take time off, the workaholic surgeon reluctantly trades in her scrubs for a ski suit and heads to Wild River, Alaska. Her friend Cassie owns a tour company that offers adventures to fit every visitor. But nothing compares to the adrenaline rush Erika feels on being reunited with Cassie’s brother, Reed Reynolds.

Gone is the buttoned-up girl Reed remembers. His sister’s best friend has blossomed into a strong, skilled, confident woman. She’s exactly what his search-and-rescue team needs – and everything he didn’t know he craved. The gulf between his life in Wild River and her big-city career is wide. But it’s no match for a desire powerful enough to melt two stubborn hearts...

Since Debbie Macomber introduced readers to the town of Buffalo Valley in her New York Times bestselling Dakota trilogy, readers have watched the town revitalise, as long-term residents and newcomers fought to preserve it — and often found love along the way.

In this charming volume, Buffalo Valley faces a new challenge. Everyone thinks Vaughn Kyle has come to town to meet Hassie Knight. After all, Vaughn was named after Hassie’s dead son, and this is the first time he’s come to town. What the folks in town don’t know is that Vaughn’s fiancée, Natalie Nichols, works for the Value-X conglomerate, and that Natalie has asked Vaughn to use this visit as a scouting trip to evaluate Buffalo Valley as a location for one of their superstores. If that store gets built, it will be goodbye Main Street, including Hassie Knight’s drugstore. Once Vaughn meets Hassie’s assistant, Carrie Hendrickson, it doesn’t take long for him to realise that he’s facing one of the most important choices of his life. He’s caught between Value-X and Buffalo Valley, between Natalie’s corporate savvy and Carrie’s country-girl smarts, and between the future he always envisioned for himself and the appealing way of life that he glimpsed in the unique little town.

Welcome to Promise, a small town in the heart of Texas where the neighbors are friendly and you might just find love.

Caroline’s Child

Everyone in town is curious, but no one’s ever asked who the father of Caroline Daniels’s child is—and they never will. The people of this tight community are protective of her and little five-year-old Maggie. They care. Especially rancher Grady Weston, who’s beginning to realize he cares even more than most…

Dr. Texas

They call her Dr. Texas. Jane Dickinson, a newly graduated physician from California, will be working at the Promise clinic—but just for a couple years before heading home. They call him Mr. Grouch. Cal Patterson was left at the altar by his out-of-state fiancée, and he’s not over it yet. Too bad Jane reminds him so much of the woman he’s trying to forget.

Carol Kyle hasn't spoken to her ex–husband in nearly a year, so luring him into her bed for one tempestuous night would be no mean feat. But even if it requires strategy skills befitting a navy admiral, she'll manage. Because Carol wants a child, and only Lieutenant Commander Steve Kyle will do as the father–to–be.

Steve will never allow his child to be raised without a father, so Carol plans to seduce Steve into her bed one last time. Her plan seems to be working…until her carefully wrought baby–trap suddenly slams shut–on her own unsuspecting heart!

One for the keeper shelf! Enjoy again this charming classic romance from No.1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber.

Would-be romance writer Bailey York was a woman who'd already failed twice at love. As far as she was concerned, men were wonderful to read - and to write - about, but that was as close as she wanted to get. Which was probably why she had such difficulty creating a hero.

She needed a real-life model, she finally decided. And she found one: Parker Davidson was everything a hero should be. Compellingly attractive. Forceful and determined, yet capable of tenderness. A man of substance.

Parker was perfect for Bailey's novel - but he wanted to be the hero in her life, not just in her book!

Anne Marie Roche wants to find happiness again. At thirty–eight, her life's not what she'd expected – she's childless, a recent widow, alone. She owns a successful bookstore on Seattle's Blossom Street, but despite her accomplishments, there's a feeling of emptiness.

On Valentine's Day, Anne Marie and several other widows get together to celebrate what? Hope, possibility, the future. They each begin a list of twenty wishes, things they always wanted to do but never did.

Anne Marie's list starts with: Find one good thing about life. It includes learning to knit, doing some good for someone else, falling in love again. She begins to act on her wishes, and when she volunteers as a local school, an eight–year–old girl named Ellen enters her life. It's a relationship that becomes far more involving than Anne Marie intended. It also becomes far more important than she ever imagined.

As Ellen helps Anne Marie complete her list of twenty wishes, they both learn that wishes can come true – but not necessarily in the way you expect.

As millions of women know, Debbie Macomber understands their lives and writes the stories they want to read.

The best grooms are from Texas!

Norah Bloomfield is feeling a bit unneeded these days. Her father is recovering from his heart attack, and her sisters, Valerie and Stephanie, are busy planning their weddings. But then a cantankerous Texan named Rowdy Cassidy crashes his small plane in Orchard Valley. The same Rowdy Cassidy who'd been Valerie's boss…and who'd demanded Valerie marry him. Now he's Norah's patient, and in all her nursing experience she's never encountered a more difficult man. Or a more irresistible one! Except…is he still in love with her sister?

When Norah's friend Sherry Waterman leaves Orchard Valley, Oregon, for Pepper, Texas, she's definitely not in the mood for Lone Star Lovin'. But if anyone can change her mind, it's Cody Bailman – a hardworking, good–looking rancher. Not only that, Cody has a twelve–year–old daughter who thinks Sherry's 'just perfect for Dad'!

The Bloomfield sisters – together again!

Valerie rushes home to Orchard Valley, Oregon, when her father, David, suffers a heart attack. She and her two younger sisters, Stephanie and Norah, are gathering at his side, praying he'll live, fearing he'll die.…

At a time like this, falling in love is the last thing on Valerie's mind. And with Dr. Colby Winston, of all people! He's David's heart surgeon, a renowned specialist who enjoys small–town living, while Valerie is a high–powered business woman who prefers city life. They're complete opposites in every way. Yet David keeps insisting she and Colby are a perfect couple.

Meanwhile Stephanie has other worries besides her father's health. She'd fled Orchard Valley three years earlier after her humiliating rejection by local journalist Charles Tomaselli. Now she's home, and it's not long before they begin reliving past battles – and renewing old feelings. He was the reason she left. This time, will he give her a reason to stay? David seems to think so.…

Does their father know something Valerie and Stephanie don't?

Luke Rivers agrees to marry Kate Logan when she foolishly proposes to him after one glass of champagne too many, and he refuses to renege on his promise.

Kate is devastated when Clay Franklin, her former fiancé and the man she's always loved, marries Rorie Campbell instead. If it weren't for that last glass of champagne she would never have asked Luke to marry her.

Now, not only does Luke refuse to break the engagement, he insists that Kate doesn't love Clay — she actually loves him...

The Snow Bride

It’s a month before Christmas and Jenna Campbell is flying to Alaska to marry a man she met online — until her seatmate takes it upon himself to change her plans.

And then there’s a blizzard… Maybe she’ll be a Christmas bride after all!

He’d never stopped loving her — and one look at those adorable little faces and he knew that he was meant to be with Laura and her kids forever. All he had to do was convince her that this time he was a man she could count on!
