Description:

When it comes to enchanting her readers with sweeping tales of lasting love, there is no author more cherished than Hannah Howell. In these special holiday novellas, two spirited women embark on an incredible journey...and meet the two men who will make this a Christmas to remember forever. In "A Christmas In Paradise," spirited Deidre Kenney must fulfill her dying father's wish. She and her beautiful cousin Maura set out on a dangerous trek to Paradise, Montana where Tyrone Callahan is waiting for them to deliver the documents that will prevent him from losing his ranch. Hoping to throw off the men who are trying to steal Tyrone's property, Deidre and Maura split up. Now alone, Deidre travels through a howling winter storm, only to discover that the handsome cowboy she risks her life for will also ask her to risk her heart... Meanwhile, in "Maura's Christmas Secret," Maura, who is carrying a false set of the documents, begins her long trip. But within days of leaving Deidre, she runs into trouble every step of the way...until she is rescued by Tyrone's charming brother Mitchell. Not sure if she can trust Mitchell, Maura knows that keeping the papers a secret from him will be hard enough, but hiding her desire will be almost impossible... In the snow-filled days before Christmas, as Deidre and Maura struggle to keep the promise they've made, they never expect that the Callahan brothers will offer the season's best gift--a lifetime of love...in Paradise. Join award-winning author Hannah Howell as she gives readers a double dose of romance for the holidays with two feisty, flame-haired cousins, a dangerous cross country chase, and two rough and rugged men who find love with the irrepressible, impossible Kenney women. . . . A HEARTFUL OF WISHES Deidre Kenney made a deathbed promise to her father--shot in cold blood by two gunmen looking for land deeds he was hired to deliver to Paradise, Montana. Deidre and her cousin Maura vow to finish the dangerous job, each woman taking a different route west. What Deidre didn't count on was a bodyguard--but that's what she gets in Patrick Callahan. With his broad shoulders, steady gun, and a crooked grin that's stirring secret desires--and one very special Christmas wish--Deidre knows the real danger ahead lies in the uncharted territory of her own heart. A HANDFUL OF HEAVEN Maura Kenney hopes her cousin is having better luck making her way to Paradise. The tiny blue- eyed spitfire is too busy fending off drunken oafs and serious gunmen to have a lot of faith in her own success. But luck is on her side: his name is Mitch Callahan and he takes one look at lovely Maura and knows Christmas has come early. But convincing a prim-and-proper miss that a tough, tender-hearted rancher is the only man for her promises to be about as hard as keeping them both alive to share this very special Christmas together . . .
