      A season for love and family

      Mistletoe Reunion by Cheryl St.John

      When Marlys Boyd moves West hoping to find acceptance for her doctoring skills, she’s surprised to find her former fiancé, Sam Mason, running the local newspaper. And with the ladies in town determined to make a match of the doctor and the single father, she’s not sure she can resist building the family they once dreamed of.

      Mistletoe Bride by Sherri Shackelford

      Pregnant by a man who betrayed her trust, a mail-order marriage is Beatrix Haas’s only hope. But when she arrives in Cowboy Creek and learns her intended groom has died, she needs a new daddy for the baby that’s coming right away. Blacksmith Colton Werner offers the mother and child the protection of his name, but can their marriage of convenience ever lead to true love?

      Mistletoe Reunion

      Cheryl St.John

      Mistletoe Reunion is lovingly dedicated to my friend and critique partner of over twenty-five years. You may have seen Barb Hunt’s name in book dedications, mine and others. You may have met her. She supported my career in every way possible. We knew each other’s families and shared our faith. She was there when I got the call that I’d sold my first book. We celebrated every victory and supported each other through the rough times. She was a loyal and loving person, and I’m fortunate to have had her as a friend for as long as I did.

      Though I miss her all the time, I’m assured she is seated at the right hand of God and having a really good time—likely even a better time than all the Friday nights with the girls put together...and we have laughed a lot! Donna Kaye, Debra Hines, *lizzie starr, Sherri Shackelford and I continue to celebrate Barb’s life and honor her memory. While it’s difficult to think of this natural world without her, she will always have a place in our hearts. She knew how much she was loved—by her family, her friends and her Heavenly Father, and that gives me peace.

      All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, because the breath of the Lord blows upon it;

      Surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the Word of our God stands forever.

      —Isaiah 40:6–8
