Dear Reader (#ubbe947aa-eeb1-52ef-9e56-32bab7e8d982),

Christmas has always been my favorite time of year. The spirit of the season—love, joy and togetherness—makes the winter seem brighter and miracles seem possible.

Liam Donnelly and Sabrina Leighton are in need of a miracle. Years ago Liam broke Sabrina’s heart, and she hasn’t been able to move on. But now that she and Liam have to work together to make a new business venture a success before Christmas, they might end up with a holiday miracle of their own.

In this book I’m excited not only to welcome you to Christmastime in Copper Ridge, but also to spread the cheer to the neighboring town of Gold Valley—home to true-blue cowboys, family-owned wineries and rustic ranches. More Gold Valley novels are on the way in 2018, but don’t miss the special bonus novella included in this volume, which introduces you to the town and some of the people in it. In Cowboy Christmas Blues, Cooper Mason dreads going home for the holidays—but when he reunites with childhood friend Annabelle Preston, his future in Gold Valley has never looked brighter.

I hope you’ll enjoy these two festive new holiday reads, and keep an eye out for a new Gold Valley book, Smooth-Talking Cowboy, coming soon to a bookstore near you.

Happy reading,

Maisey Yates
