Calendar Girls' Ranch

Jana Calendar loves her life working with special needs girls at her family's ranch. When her favorite child loses yet another foster home, she decides to be the one to get her out of the system and adopt her. Working closely with Aubrey's social worker is no hardship. When there is a glitch in her plans, the two of them work together quickly to find a solution. Brandon Ziegler has been a social worker since he left college, and little Aubrey has his heart in the palm of her hand. When a solution is offered to have one of Aubrey's favorite people adopt her, he jumps at the chance and determines to do whatever he can to make it happen. The fact that Jana is the most beautiful woman he's ever seen makes it even easier. When the two of them find a creative solution that will not only get Aubrey out of foster care but bring the two of them closer together, it seems like a good answer, but how well could it work? Is it worth changing your entire life for the sake of a young orphan?

February "Val" Calendar is one of twelve adopted sisters, and she loves her entire huge and utterly crazy family. She really and truly does. It's just that lately...well, lately, she's been wondering about this empty feeling inside, this desire to be a part of something more. She wonders if it's a result of not knowing her birth family, and Val's initial research has indicated a few options open to her. She's determined to use them all in her search to find where she really belongs. Cord O'Connor is thrilled when he opens his front door one November afternoon to discover a gorgeous woman on his doorstep...but decidedly less thrilled when she tells him she might be his sister. He knows there's no way she's related to him, but before he can move their relationship in the direction, he wants it to go, he's going to have to convince her of that, and the only option is to join her in her search for fulfillment. But the more he gets to know Val, the more Cord realizes finding her birth family isn't going to fill the emptiness inside her. It's up to him to prove to Val she is already as loved as she possibly could be! Now, if only he can convince her being related to him, not as a sibling, might be the most wonderful choice either of them has ever made, they'll both have a reason to be thankful this holiday season!

The second of the Calendar triplets, May is a quiet, critter-loving woman who enjoys being around her family but has issues with strangers. When she goes to the doctor for yet another animal-related injury, she is surprised to see the grown-up version of the little boy she did everything with from her first day in kindergarten to her last day of high school. Adam Petrowski moved back to Cauldron Valley after medical school simply to be able to reconnect with the girl of his dreams, May Calendar. He wants nothing more than a quick wedding and a happily ever after with the sweet girl. When she walks into his office with an infected squirrel bite, he knows his dreams are coming true. A supper invitation starts them down the road he's been praying for. Will Adam be able to convince May that they need to be together for always? Or will she refuse to give love a chance?
