Hope: (Christmas Quilt Brides)
Gabe
Dawson didn't believe catastrophes came in threes. That is, until his
grandfather died, a fire nearly destroyed his home, and his grandmother started
showing signs of forgetfulness.
When Hope Brody discovers Nora Dawson wandering in a snowy field and learns of
the family's loss, she sets out to recreate the quilt that was destroyed in the
fire. But in order to present it to her at the Annual Christmas Eve Quilt
gathering, that meant she'd have to get to know the taciturn Gabe Dawson.
Despite thwarting her efforts at friendship, Gabe finally acknowledges that
Hope's visits are helping ease his grandmother's anxieties. Soon, he finds
himself falling for the lovely quilter. But with only a small farm and almost
constant care of his ailing grandmother, he has nothing to offer and would
never be a woman's first choice.
As Christmas approaches, will Hope look beyond his obligations and see a future
blossom from a special, once-in-a-lifetime friendship?

One Christmas (Albert the Angel Makes a Match): Sweet Holiday Romance
|
By Kit Morgan |
One matchmaking angel
And an assignment that goes horribly wrong…
Albert the angel was no stranger to matchmaking. In fact, he’d gotten so good at it, his superiors gave him a time limit on his next assignment with no help from on high. But Albert wasn’t worried. Matching Luna Wells to Damon Surrey would be easy. Only it wasn’t. Bernard, Albert’s new AIT (angel in training) saw to that. He sent Albert, Luna, and Damon to the right place, but the wrong time! How was Albert going to explain they were in the 19th century and not the 21st? He was counting on the Weavers of the famous Weaver farm to help him out. They were a large, fun-loving and caring clan, who could melt the most cynical heart in no time. But in the 1870’s the Weavers were loud, boisterous, and pranksters to boot. Poor Damon was liable to get thrown down the family’s well before he had a chance to fall in love! Worse, Bernard, his link to his superiors for this assignment, had the IQ of a rabbit. Probably because he was a rabbit! Stuck on the Weaver farm of the past and with only ten days to work with, Albert must ensure Luna and Damon fall in love. But how?
Find out in this heartwarming sweet western romance with an angelic twist!

Beulah: Christmas Quilt Brides Book 13
Beulah Beatrice “Be-Be” Connor, who is approaching the age of thirty, gave up on marriage after the second man who had courted her left and never returned. Unlike the two maiden great-aunts, after whom she was named, she did not have an inheritance to fall back on. She worked almost half her life for her own support. When the café job in Wichita, Kansas, disappeared as the Panic of 1893 continued, she considered the job she landed at a new girls’ academy in nearby New Ponca, Oklahoma Territory, to be a Godsend.
Daniel Burdock had once been married. After both his wife and baby died during childbirth, he gave up on marriage. He now focuses on making improvements to his homestead claim. He accepts his carpenter brother’s offer to attend his construction mathematics class on mitering corners, figuring angles for roof trusses, and other geometry and trigonometry skills needed for building.
Much to his surprise, the hired help for his sister-in-law’s girls’ academy also attends. Why does it surprise him that Marigold Burdock agreed to teach Miss Connor how to make quilts on the condition she attend the construction class? The pretext is that knowledge of how to figure triangles and other geometric shapes so they fit together is good preparation for designing quilt blocks.
Construction mathematics for quilting? Honestly? Although he soon realizes those skills could be helpful for piecing quilts, Daniel begins to suspect there is more afoot than feet, inches, and angles. If he is not careful, he and Be-Be might end up stitched and bound together like a Christmas quilt.
