The Christmas Bargain
(Hardman Holidays, Book 1) -
As owner and
manager of the Hardman bank, Luke Granger is a man of
responsibility and integrity in the small 1890s Eastern Oregon
town. Calling in a long overdue loan, Luke finds himself
reluctantly accepting a bargain in lieu of payment from the
shiftless farmer who barters his daughter to settle his
debt.

Philamena Booth is both mortified and
relieved when her father sends her off with the banker as payment
of his debt. Held captive on the farm by her father since the death
of her mother more than a decade earlier, Philamena is grateful to
leave. If only it had been someone other than the handsome and
charismatic Luke Granger riding in to rescue her. Ready to hold up
her end of the bargain as Luke’s cook and housekeeper, Philamena is
prepared for the hard work ahead. What she isn’t prepared for is
being forced to marry Luke as part of this crazy Christmas
bargain.

 

The Christmas Token
(Hardman Holidays, Book 2) -
Desperate to
escape an unwelcome suitor, Ginny Granger flees to her brother’s
home in Eastern Oregon for the holiday season. Returning to the
community where she spent her childhood years, she plans to relax
and enjoy a peaceful visit. Not expecting to encounter the boy she
once loved, her exile is proving to be anything but
restful.

A talented carpenter, Blake Stratton enjoys
a simple existence in the small western town of Hardman. With
honest work and good friends, his life is nearly perfect, at least
until the day Ginny Granger arrives, setting him on his ear and
turning his world upside down. Infuriated by her meddling presence,
he’s further exasperated to discover she kept a Christmas token he
gave her along with his heart the day she left town many years
ago.

the beautiful and enigmatic prestidigitator Alexandra Janowski
arrives in town, spinning magic and trouble in her wake as the
holiday season approaches.
