Wylder Christmas : Wild Rose Press : 9781509234585 : 1509234586 : 02 Dec 2020 : Can a Christmas miracle bring a southern belle into the arms of a Union soldier? Violet Bloom leaves Charleston to come west as a mail-order bride. But when she steps off the stagecoach, she's greeted by tragic news. She vows to begin anew in Wylder, to lay haunting memories to rest, and find peace. Former Union soldier Thomas Harvey's dreams of homesteading are crushed, along with his heart, at the passing of his wife. He moves to town and struggles to survive--not for himself, but for his spirited young daughter. After Thomas rescues Violet during a snowstorm, neither has any thought of romance. But Christmas magic is in the air. It's a time of forgiveness and new beginnings--even for lost souls.
