by Debbie Macomber

Published September 27, 2011 by MIRA

The people of Cedar Cove know how to celebrate Christmas. Like Grace and Olivia and everyone else, Beth Morehouse expects this Christmas to be one of her best. Her small Christmas-tree farm is prospering, her daughters and her dogs are happy and well, and her new relationship with local vet Ted Reynolds is showing plenty of romantic promise.  

But…someone recently left a basket filled with puppies on her doorstep, puppies she's determined to place in good homes. That's complication number one. And number two is that her daughters Bailey and Sophie have invited their dad, Beth's ex-husband, Kent, to Cedar Cove for Christmas. The girls have visions of a mom-and-dad reunion dancing in their heads.  

As always in life—and in Cedar Cove—there are surprises, too. More than one family's going to have a puppy under the tree. More than one scheme will go awry. And more than one romance will have a happy ending!

The Last Cowboy
by Lindsay McKenna

Published November 15, 2011 by HQN

Pure alpha male, fiercely protective of all he holds dear.  The last of a dying breed.  Otherwise known as a pain in the rear.

City girl.  It was written all over her like a sign warning him to keep off.  Sure, Slade McPherson would train her horse…  With his ranch one bad day away from foreclosure, he can’t afford to turn away a paying customer.  But no way is this cowboy getting involved with a woman like Jordana Lawton — no matter how pretty she looks in a saddle.

Yet everything can change in an instant.  A terrifying run-in with an angry bull tilts Slade’s world off its axis, leaving him wounded and unable to compete in a race that could change his future.  For good.  But what happens when this old school cowboy finds himself falling for a modern city girl?
