The Cowboy’s Christmas Blessing

Morning Glory Christmas Book 1

by Shirleen Davies

Genre: Sweet
Contemporary Small-Town Western Romance

 
 

 

🎄A heartfelt cowboy
Christmas romance about second chances, small-town healing, and the power of
love.🎄

He left her behind once. This Christmas, will love bring him
home for good?

After six long years, two military deployments, and a
grueling recovery from an IED blast, Zachary Caldwell is finally home in
Morning Glory, Wyoming, and the Flying D Ranch. He never thought he’d see the
snow-covered streets of his hometown again… or the woman whose heart he broke
with nothing more than a phone call.

Julia Grant has spent years rebuilding her life. She finds
comfort in her job as a nurse at Mercy Clinic, the cozy routines of the Morning
Glory Inn, and the stability of her small town. But when Zach walks through her
door just weeks before Christmas, old memories and deeper feelings come rushing
back.

She once dreamed of a future with him. Marriage. Family. A
love that stays.

But dreams don’t always survive war, distance, and silence.

As Zach confronts the truth about his past, including the
reason his parents abandoned him, Julia must decide if she’s willing to risk
her heart a second time. Can she believe in him again when he’s still learning
how to believe in himself?

Set against a backdrop of twinkling lights, blizzards, and
heartwarming holiday traditions, The Cowboy’s Christmas Blessing is a clean,
wholesome contemporary western romance about healing, forgiveness, and finding
your way back to the one who never left your heart.

A  laugh  drifted  from  the  direction  of  the  kitchen.  Julia    recognized    her    aunt’s    distinctive    chuckle,    followed   by   the   deeper   rumble   of   a   male   voice   responding. Julia’s fingers froze on the envelope she’d been  opening.  The  voice  wasn’t  familiar  enough  to  place,  yet  something  about  its  timbre  sent  an  electric  current up her spine.
She  listened  harder,  her  breathing  shallow.  The  male  voice  spoke  again,  the  words  indistinct,  but  the  cadence  unmistakable.  Julia’s  chest  constricted  as  if  the  air  had  thinned.  Her  hands  went  cold  despite  the  warmth of the lobby.

It   couldn’t   be.   Not   after   all   these   years.   Not   without warning.

The Cowboy’s Christmas Gift

Morning Glory Christmas Book 2

🎄A
heartfelt later in life cowboy Christmas romance about second chances,
small-town healing, and the power of love.
🎄

Clean and wholesome contemporary western
romance.

The Snowstorm Was Just the Beginning

Victoria Palmer hadn’t expected
to spend Christmas in a town so small it barely made her GPS. But after a
painful divorce and the betrayal of a husband now living with someone half her
age, her twin sons insisted she escape the glitz of Beverly Hills for the snowy
calm of Morning Glory, Wyoming. One snowstorm, two missed turns, and a very
arrogant cowboy later, Victoria settles herself at the Morning Glory Inn—cold,
flustered, and anything but merry.

Gabe Dupree never expected a
spoiled city woman to march into his family’s inn, insult his hospitality, and
throw his quiet December into disarray. A widower devoted to his daughter and
his ranch, Gabe made peace with solitude years ago. But Victoria’s arrival
brings disruption—and a spark he never thought he’d feel again.

As snow blankets the Wyoming landscape and the town gears up for its Christmas
festivities, Victoria and Gabe are forced into each other’s paths more often
than either prefers. Between tense encounters and accidental heart-to-hearts,
they begin to uncover the hurt and longing hidden beneath their defenses.

Sometimes love doesn’t come wrapped in
ribbons. Sometimes, it rides in on a snowstorm.

Neither are in Morning Glory looking for love, but sometimes the best gifts
come when you least expect them—wrapped not in ribbons, but in second chances.

The Cowboy’s Christmas Gift is
Book 2 in the Morning Glory
Christmas
 series—a sweet, later in life, contemporary western romance
full of holiday charm, second chances, and heartfelt family moments. Perfect
for readers who love small-town Christmas romance, slow-burn love stories, and
strong, swoon-worthy cowboys. Guaranteed HEA.

“Mia,  when  you’re done, stop by my office. We need to discuss the Christmas   event   schedule   before   I   return   to   the   ranch.”
“Of course,” Mia replied, her tone professional yet familiar.    The    voice    of    someone    accustomed    to    managing guests and her boss with equal skill.
With   a   final   assessing   look   at   Victoria,   Gabe   turned  and  strode  across  the  lobby.  His  boots  made  little  sound  on  the  polished  wood  floor  despite  his  size.  He  disappeared  down  the  hallway  behind  the  reception desk, leaving the air somehow lighter in his absence.
Victoria  exhaled,  unaware  she’d  been  holding  her  breath. “Who was that miserable, obnoxious man?”

The Cowboy’s Christmas Surprise

Morning Glory Christmas Book 3

Clean and wholesome
contemporary western romance.

🎄A heartfelt cowboy
Christmas romance about small-town healing and the power of love.
🎄

Snowstorms, Secrets… and an Unexpected
Family Christmas

Ethan Webster thought he had everything figured out—thriving career in Denver,
a sleek loft, and weekends on the ski slopes. But one phone call from Italy
changes everything. His sister and brother-in-law are gone, and their three
young children need him now more than ever. Leaving the city behind, Ethan
returns to Morning Glory, Wyoming—a snowy, small-town haven tucked into the
foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

Back in the hometown he never thought he’d live in again, Ethan leans on the
one person he’s always trusted. Makayla Dupree. A dedicated veterinarian and
lifelong friend, Makayla once taught him to ride horses and stood up for him
when no one else would. This Christmas, she’s standing by him once again… this
time to support him through his grief.

As the town sparkles with Christmas lights and the scent of pine fills the air,
Ethan finds comfort in Makayla’s quiet strength, and sees her in a way he never
did before. Their bond has always been strong, but grief, responsibility, and
the magic of the season spark something deeper. Something that looks a lot like
love.

But navigating newfound feelings and unexpected responsibilities isn’t easy.
With the children still mourning, and Ethan unsure about his future, will the
season of miracles bring them together—or pull them apart?

The Cowboy’s Christmas Surprise is
a clean and wholesome Christmas romance filled with heartfelt family moments,
small-town charm, slow-burning love, and the promise of a surprise love.
Perfect for fans of cowboy heroes, emotional reunions, and uplifting holiday
reads. It is book three in the Morning Glory Christmas series and features a
guaranteed happy ending.

Makayla  gripped  the  steering  wheel  tighter,  her  knuckles    whitening.    She’d    known    Audrey    since    childhood, had watched her grow up alongside Ethan, had  celebrated  her  wedding  and  the  births  of  her  children.
The  mountains  surrounding  Morning  Glory  stood  unchanged   against   the   horizon,   their   permanence   almost  offensive  in  contrast  to  the  fragility  of  human  life.   Makayla   drove   in   a   trance,   muscle   memory   guiding  her  along  familiar  roads  while  her  thoughts  spun with grief and concern.
By  the  time  she  reached  the  highway  leading  back  to  town,  she’d  made  her  decision.  She  would  call  Ethan tonight, offer whatever support he needed. The children  would  need  stability,  comfort,  and  a  caring  heart.  She  couldn’t  bring  their  parents  back,  couldn’t  heal the wound torn through their young lives, but she could stand beside them as they faced the unbearable.
It  was  what  friends  did  in  Morning  Glory.  It  was  what Audrey would have done for her.

emotionally rich stories filled with flawed, stubborn, hopeful characters who

them, Shirleen enjoys life in a picturesque northern Arizona town with her
husband. She’s the proud mom of two grown sons, still believes in happy
endings, and is convinced that redemption is just one good story away.
