We have a bit of a tease for you today as part of our on-going Harlequin Historical extravaganza! An anthology I am already hotly anticipating, The Magic Of Christmas by Carolyn Davidson, Victoria Bylin and Cheryl St. John is due to hit stores in October 2008. We’ve already brought you an excerpt of Cheryl’s story, which you can read here. Today, we have a description of Victoria Bylin’s story, The Christmas Dove. Enjoy!
Plot Description: The Christmas Dove by Victoria Bylin
Dylan McCall, Crystal River’s resident bad boy, has changed his ways. He now wants respect for the McCall name and a wife to share his dream of making his run-down ranch a success. With Christmas in the air, he’s feeling particularly lonely when he finds a woman he once loved nursing her infant daughter in the livery stable . . .
A year ago, Maddie Cutler ran off with gambler Brodie Jones. Impoverished and ruined, she’s returned to Crystal River to beg her wealthy father for shelter for the sake of her baby daughter. When the first person she meets is Dylan McCall, a man she once treated shamefully, Maddie is filled with the deepest regrets. She also needs a ride to her father’s ranch. When Dylan offers to take her, she accepts. And when a blizzard leaves them stranded at this cabin, she discovers the greatest gift of all . . .
