A CHRISTMAS ANGEL
For Kate Warren, Christmas was a time of indifferent parents and empty feelings. So when she saw the beautiful child lost among the holiday shoppers, she vowed to give the neglectful parent a piece of her mind.
But she was unprepared for devastating Trace Sinclair. He was San Antonio's leading neurosurgeon, and he'd brought his daughter north to visit her loving grandmother--and unloving mother. Convinced that his wife's desertion had cured him of ever needing another woman, Trace was unprepared to lose his soul in Kate's smoldering eyes. But what began as a contest of wills became a victory for love, giving their hungry hearts a much needed holiday.

What could be more precious than the gift of words - unless it was the man who brought them to her? Young Maggie McDonald was a thirst for knowledge, and books contained knowledge, but Maggie couldn't read! Then lively Johnny Stewart burst into the routine of her life on a farm in Western Ohio, bringing excitement and peddling the very thing she craved most in all the world, a McGuffy's Reader! The year Johnny taught Maggie to read was the year she fell in love with him, but it would be seven more before they would wed. Then, driven by wanderlust and a desire to share their knowledge of God, they trekked across the face of frontier America with their books and Bibles, leaving behind them strengthened spirits and a rich legacy of love.

Raised high in the magnificent Sierras, lovely Tempest McClaren learned early how to survive alone in the world. Proud, fiery, innocent, she had everything to learn about the savage passions of civilization.
Three strong men, vastly different, were destined to teach her: one gentled her unruly spirit with his fierce, protective love; another awakened her woman's body with his dark, insatiable desire; but the last, asking nothing, received in return a love as shining and boundless as the western skies.
