Three heartwarming stories of Christmas in the Wild West.

A Bride and Baby for Christmas

Lauri Robinson

Dedicated to my granddaughter Karlee Jo.

Love you forever and ever.

Dear Reader

I’ve had so much fun writing about the community members of Oak Grove, and was especially excited to spend the holidays with them. From the time she made an appearance in Winning the Mail-Order Bride , I knew Hannah would have her own story—and because she needed a bit of a miracle, a Christmas story was perfect for her. And Teddy… Well, he was absolutely perfect for her. He just didn’t know it.
