He’ll sing a new tune this Christmas!
Divorced and raising two boys on her own is a far cry from the big family Marcella Grayson always imagined. Then she meets tall, dark and delicious Denver Yates—and the attraction is overwhelming! Still, Marcella is cautious. It takes a lot of man to date a single mom, let alone build a relationship...or a family.
After losing his wife and unborn child, Denver has sworn off the family life—especially kids. Yet lovely Marcella and her boys find a way into this cowboy’s heart. But when their passion lights up the plus sign on the test stick, Denver is stunned. Is this a snare set by Marcella? Or is it the Christmas wish they’ve been too afraid to make?
She glanced over at him and wondered what he was possibly thinking about her, wanting from her.
Had that kiss implied he wanted to deepen their relationship? The mere idea of that rattled her as much as the kiss. “I don’t know about you, Denver, but I’m not really in the mood for a movie.”
Braking at a stop sign, he glanced over at her. “I’m not, either. So what would you like to do? The night is still early.”
“It’s rainy and cold. Why don’t we just go to my place? I’ll make us some hot chocolate and we can watch TV—or something.”
“Are you sure? If there’s something else you’d rather do, just tell me. I don’t want this to be a bum date for you.”
“Just spending time with you will be special.”
An odd expression flickered across his face, and for a moment she thought he was going to insist they do anything besides what she was suggesting.
But then he shrugged one shoulder and turned the truck in the general direction of her house.
Marcella settled back in the seat and wondered if she’d just invited herself a heartbreak, or finally found the courage to open the door to the rest of her life.

“Mom, somebody has come to our rescue!”
“Ain’t so, Harry! It’s a Halloween goblin come to steal our candy!”
Ignoring the shouts of her two sons sitting in the backseat of the car, Marcella Grayson glanced up from the black dashboard to the flash of headlights in the rearview mirror.
When her car had suddenly died, she’d attempted
