<p><strong>Two popular <em>Ransom Canyon</em> novellas by <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author Jodi Thomas, collected here in one volume!</strong></p>
<p><strong>Christmas In Winter Valley</strong></p><p>Cooper Holloway would take nature over people any day — especially visiting relatives. That’s why he’s headed for a rustic cabin in remote Winter Valley, where he’ll care for a herd of wild mustangs. But Cooper’s plans are quickly thwarted by the arrival of two unexpected guests: one, a stranger in desperate need of his help, and the other, a very attractive young veterinarian.</p><p>Elliott is busy trying to keep Maverick Ranch running smoothly with Cooper gone, which is no easy task with family visiting. And when a long-lost love suddenly reappears in his life, Elliott knows he’ll have more than just books to balance this season.</p><p>With a big, chaotic family Christmas around the corner and love blooming in surprising ways, the Holloway men will have to make big choices about the future — just in time for the holidays.</p><p><strong>A Christmas Affair</strong></p><p>Maria Anne Davis was on her way to an exciting career as a chef in Dallas, until a terrible car accident left her blind. Ever resilient, Maria has reinvented her life on her own terms, starting a business out of her home kitchen, selling her jams and jellies to the local grocery.</p><p>Maria loves romance novels, and despite her bold spirit, she fears she’ll never have a big love affair like ones her heroines experience. That is, until she realises how much she cares about the quiet Wes Whitman, the owner of the grocery.</p><p>Wes can’t keep Maria’s wildly popular jam on his shelves — just like he can’t keep the fierce, beautiful Maria out of his thoughts. But how could a firecracker like Maria come to love a shy, nervous man like him? Maybe all they need is a grand affair. Wes needs to convince Maria that some affairs last forever, though — just in time for Christmas.</p>
