ISBN: 9780373751914

In Texas, widow rancher Willa Mercado is heartbroken when she realizes that to survive she must sell some portions of her husband’s Blue Moon Ranch to support her and their family. However, she vowed to her late spouse that she will be peculiar in who she sells to as it must be someone who will do justice to the land.

Major Daniel Trent, wounded while on duty in Iraq, makes an offer, but Willa believes his injuries make him unsuited as a buyer. He offers to lease the property for three months to prove his worthiness to her; if she is satisfied with his performance she will sell it to him; if not he will leave. Daniel’s hidden agenda is to share Christmas with the widow he loves and overcome the obstacles of her distrusting children.

The key to whether Daniel is spending CHRISTMAS AT BLUE MOON RANCH is whether he can succeed in spite of the efforts of her children to run him out of Texas. The story line is a deep drama as the kids detest the newcomer as they see him intruding on their late dad and Willa who has doubts re the land and their relationship as the kids come first.
