A Gift as Big as Texas
Molly Griffith is ambitious and only wants to give her little boy the opportunities she never had—which means moving to Dallas, no matter what Chance Lockhart says! Though being with the handsome rancher does make the idea of small-town life more tempting…
Molly has always gotten under Chance’s skin, and now that he’s bonded with her little tyke, he can’t imagine Bullhaven Ranch without them. But the single mom is so focused on her big-city fairy tale, she could miss Chance’s offer of the most important gift of all—the love and support of a real family.

Gingerbread men…hot chocolate with marshmallows, candy cane stirrer…things that remind me of childhood.
I like cheese popcorn, big bags of cheese popcorn, every day, including Christmas.
My favorite holiday treat is my homemade Sugar Cut-Out Cookies that are made with Cake Flour. These cookies are delicate and so good before and after frosting/decorated. Back when my sons were young and all the nieces and nephew, they couldn’t wait to sink their teeth into the Santa face I made for each one before Christmas dinner.
Christmas cookies which I now have my grandson and his son roll out, bake, and ice. They have loads of fun doing this together and it sure saves me a lot of time.
I love candy canes and pumpkin pie
