      Celebrate the holidays with a brand-new McKettrick tale by beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author Linda Lael Miller

      With his wild heart, Sawyer McKettrick isn’t ready to settle down on the Triple M family ranch in Arizona. So he heads to Blue River, Texas, to seek a job as marshal. But in a blinding snowstorm he’s injured—and collapses into the arms of a prim and proper lady in calico.

      The shirtless, bandaged stranger recuperating in teacher Piper St. James’s room behind the schoolhouse says he’s a McKettrick, but he looks like an outlaw. As they wait out the storm, the handsome loner has Piper remembering long-ago dreams of marriage and motherhood. But for how long is Sawyer willing to call Blue River home?

      As the gray skies clear, Piper’s one holiday wish just might bring two lonely hearts together forever.

      Dear Reader,

      Welcome back to Blue River, Texas, original home of the McKettricks of Texas and the setting for Clay and Dara Rose’s story, A Lawman’s Christmas.

      The year is 1915, and most folks suspect that handsome Sawyer McKettrick, Clay’s rowdy cousin, is an outlaw on the run, so it’s ironic that he’s come to town to take over as marshal, now that Clay is busy running a ranch and starting a family.

      Sawyer wasn’t sure of his welcome, but he wasn’t expecting to be greeted with a bullet, either. Wounded, he finds help—and the lovely Piper St. James—at the one-room schoolhouse.

      Piper, the schoolmarm, isn’t eager to take in a stranger, especially a bleeding one, but honor and compassion win out, and she looks after Sawyer and his horse.

      Love is certainly the furthest thing from Piper’s mind, and Sawyer’s, too, but Christmas has a magic all its own.

      May you be blessed this season and always.

      In loving memory of Dale Macomber.

      Knowing you was a gift I’ll always be grateful for.
