Fortune'S Children Christmas
A little friendly meddling by the great-aunt Kate is what ties these  three short stories together in this addition to the Silhouette  Fortune's Children Series. In the first story, "Angel Baby" by Lisa  Jackson, Chase Fortune has one year to turn around a rundown ranch in  order to earn it from his great-aunt. His year certainly has an odd  start when he rescues neighbor Lesley Bastian from a blizzard and helps  deliver her baby! Far from the clingy type, Lesley wants to leave Chase  as soon as possible, and get on with the business of reviving her own  ranch. But weather and fate transpire against them, and soon they've  fallen in love. But when it appears that its either her ranch or his,  Chase has to face a tough decision between his home or his heart.In Barbara Boswell's "A Home for Christmas," Ryder Fortune is given a  design firm by his great-aunt Kate, with a stipulation requiring  profitability after one year. When another relative recommends Joanna  Chandler as an employee, Ryder feels compelled to hire her. Regardless  of her good intentions, Joanna is an organizational vacuum. While she  fails as his assistant, she certainly steals his heart. Can Ryder  convince Joanna to make a permanent merger?The final story, "The Christmas Child" by Linda Turner, is set in the  mountains of Wyoming. Hunter Chase has one year to make his great-aunt's  construction company a success, and nothing can tear him away from his  work but the desperate plea of Naomi Windsong. Reluctant to rely on any  man, Naomi has no choice but to turn to the best tracker in town when her  daughter Laura is kidnapped. But when Hunter and Naomi search for Laura,  they discover some unexpected passion. Creative and entertaining, these  three stories will keep you turning the pages. A good addition to any  stocking.--Nancy R.E. O'Brien
