Blurb:
Sterling Thoroughgood was Matilda Barton’s
first and only love, but he left her three years ago to seek his fortune in
Wyoming. And now he’s come back with a puzzle box as a gift with a secret
inside. But as far as Matilda’s concerned, it’s three years too late.
Is love lost forever or does the
mysterious puzzle box hold the key to happiness?
Excerpt:
“Don’t
you even think about stepping up on this porch, Sterling Alexander
Thoroughgood, or I’ll shoot a hole in you big enough for a team of horses to
jump through.” The woman wearing a faded blue calico dress aimed the shotgun
straight at his heart…and sometimes his liver since she wasn’t holding the
shotgun all that steady.
Sterling
raised his hands in the air. His bare hands were practically numb from the
cold. He glanced up at the slate gray sky. Snow’s
comin’. Then he grinned at the woman holding the shotgun. “Merry Christmas
to you, too, Matilda.”
She
dipped the shotgun for just a moment, but raised it again as if on a second
thought. “What do you want here after being gone for three years? Did you break
some hearts up in Wyoming? Maybe you have some fathers and brothers gunning for
you and you thought you’d come running back here to hide.”
Well, there it was.
He’d hurt her when he left and she wasn’t about to let him forget it.

My Contribution/A Husband For Christmas
Teekonka Red Sky loves Jane and her son,
but all his efforts to help them past their painful memories of the night Jane's husband, Michael Pierpont, died have been unsuccessful. Unwilling to give up, can his
Lakota beliefs help him bring peace to Robin and free Jane to love again?
Excerpt:
He
laughed, the sound rich and deep, interrupting her. “I know your name…Jane.” He
spoke her name softly, reverently as if it were a treasure. He chuckled a little. “My first name’s about
as long as my last.”
“Does
Teekonka mean something in Lakota, like brave or warrior, or some such thing?”
“It
means ‘talks too much.’ Figures, doesn’t it?” He did laugh then, and Jane
couldn’t help laughing along with him.
He
touched her face at the corner of her mouth with his finger. “Your face
brightens when you laugh.”
Jane
backed away. “You’re just flirting with me now.”
He
flashed her a wide grin. “Yes ma’am, I am, but I also mean it. You are very
pretty.”
She
stood speechless unable to respond to him. She couldn’t remember the last time
a man complimented her, let alone blatantly flirted with her. It felt good,
like a warm hug on a cold day. He bent his head and kissed her. His lips, warm
and supple, took hers in a tender way, so sensual, yet asking nothing more.
Jane’s heart beat against her ribs, and heat flooded her core. All too soon,
Teekonka pulled away and grinned.
“I
best be gettin’ back to the gas station. Mr. Anderson brought in his tractor
and, with this snowstorm coming, he’ll be needing it to plow the snow from his
drive. He and Ben are going to help keep the streets in town clear, too. We
could all be grateful for that.” Teekonka buttoned his coat and replaced his
hat, covering his shaggy length of thick, black hair.
