Log Cabin Christmas, an anthology submitted by Erica Vetsch   
Love is the Best Christmas Gift for the American Pioneer
The American pioneer didn't have an easy life, but a snug little log cabin was a blessing against the forces of winter. Beside a cozy fire, surrounded by log walls built off his own land, a frontiersman could feel like a king. All he really needed was someone to share his castle.

Christmas Belles of Georgia, an anthology
submitted by Rose Allen McCauley
Surprised by Life—and Love—at Christmas
Four letters are mailed from Monticello, a small antebellum town in Georgia. Sisters once, now heirs to a historic plantation, each young woman must come to terms with the circumstances of her birth. . . .
When she learns in a letter she’s adopted, Holly feels betrayed by her parents—and she books a flight out of Missouri immediately. Will she ever be able to love again?
Raised in a wealthy, loveless home, Carol rushes to Monticello from college in Atlanta when she receives her letter. She’s searching for family, but finds instead a boy she once mistreated. Will he remember her? . . .forgive her?
In one year, Starr has lost her parents, boyfriend, and job, so she’s sure her letter is more bad news. When the attorney flies to California to offer proof, Starr takes a second look—at the message and the man.
Noelle always knew she was adopted—and she’s always loved the foreman on her father’s Texas ranch too. But he’s so distant. . .perhaps a trip to Georgia is the break in life she needs.
Will the sisters receive a traditional Christmas gift. . .of love?

Christmas Pearl by Robin Bayne

But when they are forced to work together in the midst of the Christmas season, Joe has to face the truth about Elizabeth, and himself.
