Christmas Wedding

The last thing Deputy Chris Sampson expected was to discover his boss was crooked and had ordered the murder of a family. He manages to rescue their young daughter, but with killers on their trail, he flees to Red Ridge-hoping to find someone to take her in and buy himself time to expose the truth. What he doesn't expect is to find a woman as brave as she is beautiful, one who captures his heart when he can least afford to lose it.

Joy Summers has found peace working at Madge's diner, grateful for the simple life that asks nothing of her she cannot give. But when a desperate deputy arrives with a frightened little girl in his care, Joy can't turn away. Helping them awakens the longings she thought she'd buried, and forces her to face a painful question: can a woman who cannot give a man children ever truly be loved?

As the men hunting them close in, Chris knows he might not survive, and worse, he might get Joy killed for helping him. But Joy refuses to leave his side. She's finally met someone who makes her feel whole, not broken. Is it foolish for them to fall in love and dream of a future that might not be promised?

These kisses only books can be enjoyed in any order, but are best read starting with book one.
