    About this series


    Unexpected holiday blessings! 

    Finding twin five–year–old boys on his doorstep isn't the first surprise Reverend Benjamin Lahaye has faced lately. Emery Wilkes, the new schoolteacher the town has hired, turns out to be a very pretty woman – not the man they'd been expecting. And though the twins and Emmy are only boarding with Ben until Christmas, the arrangement feels all too natural. 

    Emmy has moved to Minnesota to put loss behind her. Marriage would mean forsaking her position and her purpose, and Ben is an honourable man who understands her refusal to wed. But as he gets closer to tracking down the little boys' father, Emmy realises just how much she wants their sweet temporary family to become permanent.

But now he has to handle the hopeful applicants–women who think he's the future groom. Not to mention the feisty, matchmaking schoolteacher who is just as determined not to marry as he is. Will this mix–up push Roland and Pearl to forget their plans of staying single and allow love into their lives?  Boom Town Brides: Taking a leap of faith for love

      A Mother by Christmas  Nursing a broken heart, Amanda Porter had answered a frontier mail-order bride ad placed by Garrett Decker's children–only to find the groom-to-be didn't want a wife. The widowed bachelor she hoped to marry does need a housekeeper, though, and taking the job is Amanda's only option. But his adorable children are determined she'll be their mother by Christmas   His wife's betrayal and tragic death demolished Garrett's life. Now he can't even look at another woman, let alone marry Amanda, who resembles his first love. Even if she does make his house feel like a home, filling it again with laughter and his children's smiles. But with his daughter convinced Amanda is the perfect mother, will Garrett realize she's also his perfect match?

      The Husband Hunt! Theater singer Fiona O'Keefe is on a quest to form the perfect family for her orphaned niece. It's a shame handsome and musically talented Sawyer Evans can't support a household on his sawmill–manager wages. Fiona needs a respectable gentleman of means. And if she can't find one in Singapore, Michigan, then she'll just have to look for a husband in the mail–order want ads…  Sawyer doesn't want Fiona to marry a stranger…or anyone other than him. It would be easy to reveal that he's secretly heir to a railroad fortune. But Sawyer's determined to be a self–made man, so he isn't willing to take his father's money. Instead, can he prove to Fiona that the man she needs is already by her side?
