Description
A collection of Christmas stories by bestselling Australian authors.
In the sun-soaked outback town of Wirralong, Christmas weaves its magic, bringing love, redemption, and unexpected second chances to those who need it most.
The Midwife's Christmas Miracle - Fiona McArthur
Fleeing the life her wealthy father planned for her, Perth midwife Gabi Hudson escapes to the charming Outback town of Wirralong for a fresh start - only to be blindsided by Cormack Callaghan, a Texas cowboy with a talent for metal art and a ticket home booked for Christmas. He's never been a relationship kind of guy, and Gabi knows he's temporary. But with two weeks and undeniable chemistry between them, can they really be foolish enough to fall in love?
One Starry Christmas Night - Barbara Hannay
When schoolteacher Bea Fraser returns to Wirralong to care for her ailing grandmother, the last thing she expects is to reconnect with Jaxon Hooper - her quiet, brainy childhood classmate, now an Army Intelligence officer on leave. Bonding over their shared devotion to their grandmothers, they're stunned to discover the two women are sworn enemies. As they cautiously unravel the old feud against a backdrop of holiday lights and festive markets, Bea struggles to resist a growing attraction, while Jaxon dares to hope for something more.
The Outback Cowboy's Christmas Baby - Kelly Hunter
Former ward of the state, Mac Bodie has built a million-dollar empire from nothing - but buying the cattle station next to his maybe-brother's land is about revenge, not roots. What he doesn't expect is to find Jess Lean, his unforgettable one-night stand, working the land - or to discover she's carrying his child. Now, with Christmas closing in and vengeance within reach, Bodie faces a reckoning: hold onto the past or dare to open his guarded heart to the family he never knew he wanted.
