On Christmas Eve single dad Ryan Givens and his new–found son were stranded in a small Colorado town without a dime to their name. But just when Ryan saw his plans for their first Christmas crumpling faster than his son's smile, a miracle came their way.

No matter how hazardous good–looking cowboys were to her heart, Danielle Sellica couldn't let Ryan and his adorable son spend the holiday in a hotel room. Everything would be fine, as long as they stood clear of the mistletoe.

But they didn't.","rating":"3.00","stock":0,"date":{"__className":"DateTime","date":"2012-07-06 00:00:00.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Australia/Sydney"},"sale_date":{"__className":"DateTime","date":"2012-07-06 00:00:00.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Australia/Sydney"},"product_id":14089,"isbn13":"9781460881439","title":"Mistletoe Bride","seo":"mistletoe-bride","summary":"...","image":"https://harpercollins-millsandboon-au.imgix.net/covers/9781460881439.jpg?auto=format&w=298&blend=https://supadu-imgix.s3.amazonaws.com/harpercollins-millsandboon-au/EBOOK.png&blend-mode=normal&blend-size=inherit&blend-y=0","hide":false,"categories":[{"name":"Contemporary","type":"bisac","seo_name":"FIC027020"}],"scheduled":[]},{"description":"
HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS

Lauren West: Imagine, Nicke Gatewood, the sexy town bad boy, gallantly rescuing me from an obnoxious mule pursuer. But did he have to say we were engaged?!

Nick Gatewood: It was nothing, really. Especially because I need one night of Lauren's time, as my fiance, to convince the boss's wife that this bachelor isn't the proverbial Thanksgiving turkey.

A simple agreement: But Lauren never expected her family and friends to get word of her nonintended nuptials. Or to find herself falling in love with her make–believe bridegroom and planning a very real wedding.

Join Linda Varner as she celebrates the joy and love of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's with three very special couples.","rating":"0.00","stock":0,"date":{"__className":"DateTime","date":"2012-07-06 00:00:00.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Australia/Sydney"},"sale_date":{"__className":"DateTime","date":"2012-07-06 00:00:00.000000","timezone_type":3,"timezone":"Australia/Sydney"},"product_id":14085,"isbn13":"9781460881392","title":"Won't You Be My Husband?","seo":"wont-you-be-my-husband","summary":"...","image":"https://harpercollins-millsandboon-au.imgix.net/covers/9781460881392.jpg?auto=format&w=298&blend=https://supadu-imgix.s3.amazonaws.com/harpercollins-millsandboon-au/EBOOK.png&blend-mode=normal&blend-size=inherit&blend-y=0","hide":false,"categories":[{"name":"Contemporary","type":"bisac","seo_name":"FIC027020"}],"scheduled":[]},{"description":"

Three Weddings and a Family

On the road to happily–ever–after, a long–lost family is found!

MAKE BELIEVE MATRIMONY

They were married and still almost complete strangers. Gabriel Dillard and Jessica Landers had struck a dry–eyed deal to wed in name only, for Gabe needed a wife to be eligible for a lucrative job and Jessica needed a daddy for her adorable little girl.

OF LIFETIME OF HONEYMOON BLISS?

But sharing such tiny quarters with all six feet of gorgeous Gabe was making Jessica feel that their marriage would be anything but platonic. Especially when Gabe's friendly pecks turned into heart–stopping kisses, and Jessica could no longer deny the feelings he stirred in her.

Linda Varner has arrived! Here's her 20th Silhouette Romance for your enjoyment. Savour every romantic moment!
