This Christmas, a childhood promise comes calling… Clementine Hardy always wanted to be a librarian in her Marietta hometown. But at thirty, she fears she’s become too predictable—so she quits, books a European vacation, and accepts a research job in New York. Then on her birthday, a hunky piece of her past arrives, drops to bended knee, and proposes in front of half the town. Bad boy celebrity chef Jude Barlow is done with the bright lights and late nights. He sells his Manhattan restaurant and volunteers in Africa to clear his head. A year later, he’s a new man with a new goal: find the girl from summer camp—the most practical woman he knows—and collect on the pinky promise they made when they were twelve. Clem won’t marry a guy she hasn’t seen in nearly two decades, no matter how attractive or how talented he is in and out of her kitchen. But why does he have to look more delicious than the chocolate creations he concocts for the Graff Hotel? More delicious than anything in New York?

BACHELORS OF SHOTGUN RIDGE—BOOKS 4-7 From a USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of over 30 romance novels comes a series all about cowboys, community spirit and feel-good emotions. What do readers get with a Mindy Neff book? Small town romance filled with laughter and emotion, tough-guy heroes who are gentle and kind, and secondary characters—both human and animal—who help keep everyone stirred up! Books that touch your heart. (All of the Bachelors of Shotgun Ridge books can be read as stand alone titles—so no need to worry if you read them out of order) Wanted: Women and Babies. Where: Shotgun Ridge, Montana. When: As soon as possible! Convincing this town’s perfectly happy, commitment-shy bachelor cowboys to say “I do” is going to take some doing. But the four well-meaning old matchmakers of Shotgun Ridge, Montana are up for the challenge—with some hilarious and emotional results. Book #4—CHEYENNE’S LADY He guarded his town with an eagle eye…but even Sheriff Cheyenne Bodine couldn’t save himself from the outrageous Shotgun Ridge matchmakers. Seems they’d “rented” his house to lovely surrogate mom-to-be, Emily Vincent. And while the big city beauty would tempt a saint to live in sin, Cheyenne’s lawman’s oath permitted no such indiscretions. Sending Emily home would protect and serve them both…Though the proud country lawman stole her breath, Emily knew her stay was temporary. Except…when she told Cheyenne that the babies she carried were his orphaned kin, she found herself under house arrest. The bail? Bonds of matrimony. Book #5—THE DOCTOR’S INSTANT FAMILY Kelly Anderson had heard of the notorious Shotgun Ridge matchmakers. She just never dreamed they’d pair her with her new boss, the town’s own sexy, single, cowboy M.D., Chance Hammond. The man was one potent male package with a wicked bedside manner—surely not what the doctor ordered for a widow with two scared little girls and one big secret! But the carefree playboy had his own secret side. For when they had no place to go just days before Christmas, it was Chance who opened his home, Chance whose gentle ways made her daughters smile. She’d prayed for a Christmas miracle—had she instead found a man whose tender care could heal all their broken hearts? Book #6—PREACHER’S IN-NAME-ONLY WIFE Dan Lucas thought he was safe from the matchmakers of Shotgun Ridge, Montana. As the preacher, he was supposed to perform weddings, not take part in them! But when beautiful photojournalist Amy Marshall came to him with her plight, he found her offer impossible to refuse. Amy needed to marry Dan to fulfill the terms of her grandfather’s will. However, she hadn’t bargained on becoming an instant wife and mother when Dan unexpectedly received custody of an orphan baby. Brand-new feelings for both had Amy facing a difficult decision. Was she about to let her marriage become real…body and soul? Book #7—SHOTGUN RIDGE She’s on the run for her daughter’s life…and her own. Abbe Shea witnesses the mob hit of her fiancé and the killer’s warning is clear: talk and he’ll be back for her two-year old daughter. Abbe flees Las Vegas and makes her way to Shotgun Ridge, Montana…and to the safety of Grant Callahan’s horse ranch. Grant rents Abbe the ranch guest house, but he has his suspicions. She’s sexy and intelligent—and her little girl wins his heart immediately. Still, years as an elite member of the U.S. Special Forces tells him Abbe is hiding something. Then the FBI comes looking for her, and Grant wants the truth. When Abbe admits her connection to Vegas crime boss—and to him—Grant is stunned. Her revelations could destroy his reputation as a breeder of million-dollar horses. Yet right now, all that matters to Grant is protecting Abbe and her daughter. Because if the feds have found her, the mob isn’t far behind…
