In Landry, Wyoming, outspoken, bossy Dr. Bea Inseldorf secretly longs for a home and family of her own. She fills her life with caring for everyone else instead. Widower Tate Reed is filled with bitterness and refuses to celebrate Christmas—his wife died in childbirth at the holiday several years ago. His young daughter misses her mother but also her father, who is no longer the happy, loving man he used to be. Four days of isolation together in a ranch house and a batch of small round cookies magically change the lives of them all, starved for affection as they are, all seeking the same thing—happiness.

With the help of the elves, Kris Kringle and his wife, Rebecca, deliver toys to all the children in the world on Christmas Eve.

This coming-of-age story is a tale of fantasy and mystery, of goblins, elves, and flying reindeer, and of how a boy from the humblest beginnings fulfills his destiny.

When Dr. Tullah Holliday reluctantly agrees to help a former high school bully, now an ex-con on parole and a breeder of rodeo bulls, who is being threatened by a drug syndicate, she finds herself in a world of corruption; especially when she digs up dirt on a dishonest sheriff and his deputy. From a rattlesnake delivered in a giftwrapped box, to a vicious bull attack, as Tullah puts together the pieces of the case, a killer is preparing to strike again, and this time, it could send this nosy veterinarian to an early grave.

Part Cherokee, and with empathic abilities, Dr. Tullah Holliday isn’t your average small-town veterinarian. When her Black Lab brings her a skeletal human hand, she immediately notifies her father, Sheriff Henry Holliday. The dog leads them to the reputedly haunted swamp nearby, where they discover eleven shallow graves with remains of young women reported missing over the past decade. For Tullah, a great barred owl becomes a messenger for these dead souls who reach out pleading for her to find their murderer. The heir to the swamp asks Tullah to help break the swamp’s hundred-year-old curse, little realizing the dangers she must face—poisonous snakes, wild dogs, and a terrifying monster. Only by listening to the voices in the wind and obeying the owl’s indications can she put the past to rest and avoid becoming the next victim.

Dr. Tullah Holliday has waited fourteen years to avenge her mother’s death. She suspects the killing of indigenous women is a gang initiation. When she arrives in New York City to investigate, she encounters a biased police captain possibly in league with the gang. Detective Clay Wolfchild Bannister has escorted a prisoner from Texas. The intriguing veterinarian he met two years ago is a breathtaking woman and he wants her back in his life. He’ll do whatever he can to help uncover what really happened to her mother. When Tullah realizes she is the killer’s next target, she finds the truth about the night her mother died in a dark alley is—deadly. And a second chance for love between her and Clay could end before it’s begun.
