Pages : 141
Book Description
It is days before Christmas, and something is very wrong. Darkness covers the skies, ash mixes with the snowy ground, and young Melissa lies sick and dying in a hospital bed. Season, a young golden dog desperate to save her from death, embarks on a dangerous and frightening journey through dark forests and fiery mountains to reveal a mystery beyond his comprehension. Battling vicious animals and dark magic, can he survive in order to reveal the strange mystery in the words of his own master? In this inspirational story, even the animals can discover the Christmas miracle. "A thrilling new twist on the heart-warming story of a dog's odyssey to reunite with his human family, Pollard creates a dark fantasy...with layered references to traditional folklore, Christian symbolism, and an apocalyptic setting... not the sweet and expected tale of a domestic dog alone in the wild...a fast-paced adventure." -Clarion Review "In smooth prose interwoven with the right amount of explication, the plot features dangerous wildlife and harsh natural elements until Season faces his final confrontation...mystical, divine forces at war...a sudden turn that infuses the novel with new life. The fitting conclusion should leave readers of all ages satisfied. Season hopefully has more quests in his future." -Kirkus Reviews

The Lone Star State doesn't have to be lonely... Headlined by New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Jodi Thomas and Linda Broday along with Sharla Lovelace, a holiday-themed Western historical romance collection featuring three Texas-set stories of romance and adventure. The Civil War is over, Christmas is coming--and it's time for three rugged cowboys to hang up their spurs and find their true loves. FATHER GOOSE New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Jodi Thomas Dispirited by war, when Trapper Hawkins accepts a job hauling five little rich girls to Dallas, all he cares about is the money. He doesn't expect they'll awaken his spirit--or that their intriguing nursemaid, Emery Adams, will awaken his heart. And when danger strikes as Christmas Eve nears, he definitely doesn't expect Emery and the girls to risk their lives--for him... THE MISTLETOE PROMISE * Sharla Lovelace A catastrophic storm, an ailing herd, and a failing cattle ranch have left Texas rancher Josie Bancroft in danger of losing everything her father worked for. Still, she'd rather die than merge with her neighbor rancher Benjamin Mason, the man who broke her heart years ago, on Christmas Eve. As old sparks fly and secrets are revealed, however, Ben is determined to help Josie--and prove that this time around can be different. That the misunderstandings of Christmas past need not define their future... ALMOST CHRISTMAS New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Linda Broday Noelle Blessing owns Blessing Falls, Texas' local candy shop, The Sugar Spoon. But despite her festive name and delicious occupation, Christmas doesn't promise to be sweet this year--thanks to the curvy confectioner's resentful ex-fianc . When he shows up at the town's holiday dance spoiling for trouble, Noelle grabs the nearest cowboy to partner with. Cord Dalton is more than happy to play the hero--and the new boyfriend too. And by the time an unexpectedly white Christmas rolls around, what began as pretend might just be the equally unexpected gift of the real thing...

He'd like to be the man in her life, but she already has one-hundred-and-seven collectible Santa Clauses. Ryan I'm not a ho-ho-ho kind of guy. My brother and I were raised in foster care, and the closest thing we had to a father was a career criminal who'd sooner steal Christmas than save it. I followed in his footsteps, I'm ashamed to say, and did things for him that I regret. Like taking a priceless Christmas ornament from a Colonial Williamsburg inn. I’m trying to be a better man, and the first step is returning that ornament. Except I’m too late. The owner passed away and left the inn to her granddaughter, Anabelle—a high-strung, Christmas-obsessed loner whose cat takes an immediate dislike to me. But Anabelle needs my help. Her inn’s in trouble, and her ex is planning a hostile takeover. Besides… I may have come to make amends, but I stay because I’m falling for the woman who loves Christmas. And I’m damn well going to save it for her. Anabelle When Ryan Langston booked a room in my inn and said he was staying indefinitely, I knew something was wrong. No one stays indefinitely. Most people seem to be in a hurry to leave. But the longer he stays, the less I worry about what brought him here… Because this chaotic, charming man is exactly what my life’s been missing. **A standalone Christmas romcom from the USA Today-bestselling author of Jingle Bell Hell and Matchmaking a Scrooge**
