Already we’re in week 2 of The 12 Brides of Christmas novella collection. This week’s story offers:

Family traditions, outlaws, Texas Rangers and a beautiful blue-eyed baker – it’s all here in The Nutcracker Bride  by Margaret Brownley.

Each of the 12 Brides stories celebrates a special, out-of-the-ordinary gift, and gives the reader a peek into historic holiday traditions.

What family traditions do you celebrate year after year?

 

About the book: While Lucy Langdon gathers walnuts, someone throws a bag of money into her wagon and rides away. Now Chad Prescott, a Texas Ranger, is determined to recover the bag, but not before he is shot as a prowler. Waking up in a house full of German nutcrackers is rather disconcerting for this lawman, but not as troublesome as feeling his heart fall for the lovely Lucy.
