Description:
A little friendly meddling by the great-aunt Kate is what ties these three short stories together in this addition to the Silhouette Fortune's Children Series. In the first story, "Angel Baby" by Lisa Jackson, Chase Fortune has one year to turn around a rundown ranch in order to earn it from his great-aunt. His year certainly has an odd start when he rescues neighbor Lesley Bastian from a blizzard and helps deliver her baby! Far from the clingy type, Lesley wants to leave Chase as soon as possible, and get on with the business of reviving her own ranch. But weather and fate transpire against them, and soon they've fallen in love. But when it appears that its either her ranch or his, Chase has to face a tough decision between his home or his heart. In Barbara Boswell's "A Home for Christmas," Ryder Fortune is given a design firm by his great-aunt Kate, with a stipulation requiring profitability after one year. When another relative recommends Joanna Chandler as an employee, Ryder feels compelled to hire her. Regardless of her good intentions, Joanna is an organizational vacuum. While she fails as his assistant, she certainly steals his heart. Can Ryder convince Joanna to make a permanent merger? The final story, "The Christmas Child" by Linda Turner, is set in the mountains of Wyoming. Hunter Chase has one year to make his great-aunt's construction company a success, and nothing can tear him away from his work but the desperate plea of Naomi Windsong. Reluctant to rely on any man, Naomi has no choice but to turn to the best tracker in town when her daughter Laura is kidnapped. But when Hunter and Naomi search for Laura, they discover some unexpected passion. Creative and entertaining, these three stories will keep you turning the pages. A good addition to any stocking. --Nancy R.E. O'Brien
