Love Through Time: Three Holiday Novellas

The Christmas Kiss What happens under the mistletoe… When a sledding accident catapults governess Annabelle O'Sullivan ninety-four years into the future, she must depend on the kindness of a stranger and his daughter to survive. The longer she stays, the less she wants to leave this new life. But, still, she wonders if she can trust this strange man with her life. Since the death of his wife, Daniel Wagner has shut his heart off to everyone except his daughter, Olivia. He finds it easy to avoid romance, until he rescues an unconscious woman from a snowdrift by the side of the road. Although the stranger seems to have no past, Daniel soon finds himself thinking about a present—and a future—with her. The Portrait They had only the ghost of a chance… When event-planner Catherine Brannon goes to historic Hamilton House to work on a fundraiser, she fears she'll see the ghost who haunts it. What she finds is even scarier: a portrait of a woman who could be her twin. But Catherine forges ahead, determined that neither a look-alike from the past—nor a broken heart in the present—will derail her dream. David Hamilton is serving what feels like a life-sentence trying to live up to his nineteenth-century family's expectations. He wants to go West, where a man can be free. But his parents stymie him at every turn, choosing both his woman and his career. It isn't until Catherine pops into his life—and into his arms—that he finds hope again. An Innocent Man A haunting encounter… Journalist Becky Hollister is jilted by her fiancée—and even worse—by her sister. She moves to a new city, a new paper, and a new home, but she can't escape her calling or her heart. A man who died twenty years ago occupies her new residence, and she aims to find out why. But her thoughts keep straying to the handsome, young deputy she ran smack into. Sheriff's deputy, Mark Collins, is intrigued by the feisty reporter and her determination to unlock the truth behind a crime that happened when he was a kid. But every time he tries to get closer to her, she runs away. He decides to help her solve the mystery of the cold case, at the same time, that of her cold heart.
