An Angel for Dry Creek

1999

A REAL LIVE ANGEL IN DRY CREEK, MONTANA? Not quite. But from the first sight of Glory Beckett framed in the light of her car's high beams, Matthew Curtis could have sworn that she was a heavenly gift sent to heal both his faith and his heart. And what's more, so could the whole town! The pressures of being angelic were downright stressful. But how could Glory resist Matthew's smile or his adorable twin boys? And it looked as if it would take a miracle to convince anyone in town that she wasn't the least bit celestial, let alone that her presence in Dry Creek might even put them all in danger!

A Holiday Thief? Millie Corwin had snuck into Dry Creek's café to leave gifts for the townspeople, not to rob them. But she'd been caught.

Brad Parker was minding his own business when he noticed Millie sneaking into the café. She claimed she wasn't a robber, and he wasn't sure what to believe. Because how could a thief be so lovely to look at, and—Brad soon learned—lovely on the inside, too? One thing was certain. Robber or not, this stranger seemed to be stealing his love-resistant heart. . .
