Bøger i Christmas in Huttonville serien

An unforgiving past. A future on the chopping block. And a secret revealed days before Christmas, that can redeem or ruin everything they've been fighting for. The strike comes before I can stop it. Before I know it, my eyeball feels like it'll explode and Jovi is chasing the perpetrator out the door, not before the sheriff shows up and takes the dirtbag to jail. This is my life. I work in a bar with some great people. It's the drunks and juvenile delinquents that ruin it all. And it's Christmas. Y'all would think that my luck would change, but it hasn't. As if it couldn't get any worse, my car breaks down, and Jovi has to drive me home. The third strike of the night comes when the lock on my door is broken, and I have to get Jovi to help boost me up into my own bedroom window. You'd think my fate would change after that. But what I do next is something so stupid, so impulsive, but so life changing, that I don't know why I didn't do it sooner. *** Rickie is one of those women that is so strong and independent, I wouldn't dare tell her what I've been feeling for her, until she walks in on me doing something I was keeping secret from everyone. Somehow, I convince her to do the same and change her life, despite the mistake that led to the decision. But that's in the past now. She's got her own past, which makes it easier for us to find common ground. But as we hear the sleighbells ringing, the sonogram pulsing, and the future calling, I find that I'm the one standing on solid ground, enough for the both of us. That is, until a final test, just days before Christmas, that sends us both in a tailspin. And I don't know which one of us is strong enough to wait for that final call with the answer to our prayers...is it too late for a Christmas miracle?

A future almost shattered. A strange new friend. And a holiday party that does more than raise a glass to good cheer. Now, normally I don't go around asking strange women personal questions, you know, owning a bar and all, it's usually the other way around. But this girl, Venus, who's helping her sister, catering at my brother Liam's wedding, gives me an odd feeling. It's not what you're thinking, and shame on you for thinking that when it's Christmas. Dang, I almost tripped over a reindeer as I went over and talked to her, behind the food table. She's beautiful, no doubt about it at all, but she's got that look in her eye, man, there's no denying it. There's trouble, and in no small way, neither. And when she blurts out the truth, well gosh, you could hear a pin drop, and this is a wedding attended by more than a hundred people, ladies and gentlemen. *** Raine, my sister, points out the guy standing next to Liam, his brother, who's staring at me like I'm his next meal. His name is Darryl, and he owns a local bar, and somehow I figure he's caught wind of why I'm here. It's impossible, of course, because nobody knows except for Raine, but the feeling I get in my gut tells me that he knows I'm not just serving lasagna as a favor to my sister. But he's adamant, despite my claws coming out, amongst all the holly and mistletoe, and I ignore the fact that he's the most gorgeous man I've ever seen, no ma'am, but that's also because he's the last thing I need. But I soon find out that in the few days that I've been here I've learned to ignore my needs and stick to my wants. God strike me dead, but as much as I hate him the moment we exchange pleasantries, I'm also unapologetically attracted to the sumbitch. ...but can we get past this tug of war between us? Then again, it doesn't really matter, since the very reason why I'm hiding out here in Huttonville comes back...with a gun in hand...dressed up as, guess who...
