Cold Creek Holiday Box Set
by Raeanne ThayneNew York Times bestselling author RaeAnne Thayne revisits two classic tales of holiday magic this Christmas! THE COWBOY'S CHRISTMAS MIRACLE Christmas was a tough time for widow Jenna Wheeler and her four kids, even though she'd done her best to make ends meet. Jenna was determined to make this holiday perfect, but she required a miracle... Maybe her new landlord could oblige. Gorgeous, child-averse Carson McRaven needed a chef, not the trouble that came with Jenna's hectic brood. But he might just learn more about the spirit of Christmas than he'd ever dreamed. A COLD CREEK HOLIDAY All Emery Kendall wanted for Christmas was distraction and healing in the Idaho mountains. But her host, rancher Nate Cavazos, hardly gave her a warm welcome...the former Army Ranger's smoldering good looks masked deep emotional scars. And his hands were full as guardian of his nieces--that was all the involvement he could handle right then. Still, Nate couldn't ignore his fierce attraction to Emery, or his nieces' instant attachment to her--until a long-buried secret of Emery's shattered their happiness. Would it be a lonely Christmas or the best family holiday ever?
