The swaggering stranger embodied every warning nurse Caitlin Severn had ever heard, all wrapped up in one handsome, dangerous package. Yet, from the moment she saw his motorcycle crash and his manly strength shatter, something about Simon Steele called to her soul.... She stayed--and prayed--by his side. Slowly nursed him to health. And behind his bravado she found a man struggling for faith, for a feeling of family his harsh, foster-care upbringing had denied him. And with Christmas coming, Caitlin asked only that Simon finally find his way home...to the Lord...and to love.

Give up half of the farm to a complete stranger because of his uncle’s will? No way was Ethan Westerveld willing to go along with this crazy plan. But no matter how he fought, he couldn’t change the will giving fifty percent ownership to Hannah Kristofferson. Hannah, a born and bred city girl, had zero intentions of living on a farm. Especially not the farm that was the home place of Sam Westerveld, the only father she had ever known. A man who had betrayed her and her mother when he walked out on them all those years ago and back to Millars Crossing and the bosom of his tight-knit family and community.   One of the conditions of the will, however, was that Hannah had every right to do what she wanted with her half of the farm if she stayed six months. Stay and she could decide what she wanted to do with her half. Leave and she forfeited any right to the money. Hannah has plans and any money she might get from the farm could be the seed money to starting her own business and the independence she’d been seeking growing up the daughter of a single mother who, after Sam left, couldn’t settle down. What Hannah didn’t count on was the sense of community she feels in Millars Crossing. Or falling for Ethan Westerveld. A man who never met a girl he couldn’t charm. Hannah is determined to stay the course, but will she lose more than she might gain if she walks away from Ethan and a life that holds more than she ever dared dream of?
