Brodie Wallace had finally done a good thing in his life. He’d come home to Apple Valley to take care of his ailing father. He wasn’t keen on being back, but, his old man deserved it for he had always been there for him.
Shea Worthington was ordered home. For this Marine Captain, her mother was one of the few things that made her fearful, so, she was headed home for Christmas. Apple Valley was a place she’d never intended to return to unless absolutely necessary. But when she runs into Brodie, more like runs him off the road, even before she gets to town, she realizes this time here may not be so bad.
Not one to form attachments, Shea is guarded but Brodie wants to bust down those walls. It’s Christmas time, supposed to be a time for miracles, will the spirit of the holiday grant Brodie’s Wish?

Operation Ball N’ Chain, #11
If they’re not careful this wedding day may never come…
Although having secretly been married for years, Grey Sorenson and his wife Sarah Mallery were having a actual wedding to make her mother happy. The only problem was that each day that counted down to the event increased his chances of being served with divorce papers instead. Sarah and her mother weren’t agreeing on anything and his Marine was becoming increasingly volatile.
If they managed to survive the meddling mother there was a far more sinister plot in the works that may make the actual ceremony extinct along with one of them. Will they survive long enough to take vows before their hometown? Will he actually be able to call her his forever and see her use his last name? Or will it all be for naught?
