Holidays in Heart Falls

All Bradley Ford wants this holiday season is a date or three with sweet Hanna Lane. He's the new fire chief, recently returned to Heart Falls to help his father after an accident. And while he wasn't expecting to find someone like Hanna so soon, Brad's certain that Hanna-and her adorable daughter, Crissy-are perfect for him and his plans to settle down. Hanna's been taking care of herself since she became a single mom at sixteen. The only pure, honest love she trusts is her little girl's, but for the first time in eight years, her libido flares to life. Something about Brad draws her like a moth to a flame-which is always a bad idea for the moth. When a fire leaves Hanna and Crissy homeless, Brad offers them shelter at his family's homestead. Crissy insists they've moved in with Santa. Hanna's not sure how she keeps ending up under the mistletoe with Brad. And Brad? He's hoping for the best Christmas gift of all...

Then suddenly it's not about the day but surviving long enough to enjoy their future. It's going to take a holiday miracle for everyone's wishes to come true.

This hero needs a holiday miracle or two-and she's just the one to deliver. A standalone holiday story from New York Times bestselling author Vivian Arend. Single father Ryan Zhao didn't expect a ghost from his past to literally slide back into his life. His long-time friendship with Madison Joy is a pure, sweet memory, and with the holidays fast approaching, her surprise visit is perfect. Maddy's a breath of fresh air, full of ideas and enthusiasm-and far too attractive to a lonely man like him. Best friends to lovers might be tempting, but it's also dangerous since she's leaving after Christmas. Madison thrives on fixing things. If Ryan insists she stick around and bother him and his adorable daughter for all of December, she'll do what she can to make his life brighter. Which means reviving their ugly sweater tradition, organizing a not-so-traditional Nutcracker-and fighting to keep from falling in love with her former best friend and his motherless child. She's already given up her dreams once to help take care of her family. No matter how much he wants her to stay, Ryan refuses to ask her to do it again for him and his little girl. Can holiday magic find a way to take these two lonely hearts from friends to forever?

This cowboy has made a list-checked it twice-and she's about to find out exactly how right they are for each other. Cowboy Alex Thorne was a pain in quiet Yvette Wright's side for years, but when he suddenly left Heart Falls, she missed his smart mouth and sexy smile. Now he's back with a Christmas gift she can't resist. A homemade advent calendar fashioned from an antique cabinet, each locked drawer full of teasing reasons why they belong together. It took far too long for Alex to realize why he'd relentlessly poked and teased his favourite Heart Falls veterinarian, but he's determined to make up for lost time now that he knows Yvette is the only one for him. He'll need to convince her that in spite of their differences, they're not headed into a holiday fling. Christmas magic will need to be extra shiny and bright this year for these not-quite-enemies to become lovers for a lifetime-and a united force against anyone, or anything, that would tear them apart.

The final stand-alone story in the HOLIDAYS IN HEART FALLS series by New York Times Bestselling Author Vivian Arend. While this book can be enjoyed on its own, series readers will delight to discover all sorts of Heart Falls easter eggs, past and present! This rancher wasn't looking for love-but she's been right there the entire time. In their mid-forties when they first met, widow Sonora Fallen and vows-to-stay-single rancher Ashton Stewart both felt a spark but agreed being friends was more important than becoming lovers. For many years that decision held firm, and other than one time, their grumbly-in-public, friends-in-private arrangement has stuck. Now sixteen years later, the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future seem determined to change these friends to lovers to…something else? All of Heart Falls is watching, suspicions on the rise as Sonora and Ashton's secret slips into view. Can two people used to standing on their own find a way to admit they want more? Or will stubbornness and fear keep them from forever?
