Navidad de los Suenos by Kristin Billerbeck sweeps you into California's historical land of ranchos and sword fights as Isabella Arguello is being forced to marry a despicable man. Her only source of hope is prayer and the counsel of an old circuit-riding preacher. But when Pastor Juan Carlos Vega comes in the place of the old man, it is love at first sight. Isabella would follow the handsome preacher anywhere, but Juan Carlos reminds her of the commandment to honor one's father and he leaves. What is a sad girl to do?

Dreams by Peggy Darty introduces you to Caroline Cushman, the first resident of Pine Ridge, Alabama, to attend college. Her simple country manners stand out among the students of Davis University, attracting the attention of Ryan Blankenship and the scorn of Amelia Gardner. Caroline's only dream is to return to Pine Ridge with an education for teaching, but Ryan has dreams that will stir the Christmas punch.

Eyes of the Heart by Rosey Dow welcomes you to experience a 1925 New England Christmas. Jim Clarke is visiting the Simmons family over the Christmas holiday with his girlfriend Honey. When a sprained ankle keep him from joining a skating party, he discovers the charm of Honey's blind sister Julie. But will Honey's thoughtlessness and jealousy destroy an opportunity for true love?

paper Roses by JoAnn A. Grote puts you in the midst of financial collapse during the Panic of 1893 along with the Larson family. They must turn their large home into a boardinghouse, and Thomas McNally is the first boarder to inquire for a room.

It makes her feel useful, but it also puts her recently broken heart in danger of being captured again.
