Christmas in the Canyon: Fletcher Canyon Christmas: Book One

Sometimes, the greatest gifts come not in the presents we unwrap, but in the hearts we dare to open.


When Penny Pritchard agrees to marry Blake Leymon, she’s leaving behind a life of whispered judgments and narrow-minded expectations. The rugged life of a blacksmith’s wife might not be what she once dreamed, but she’s desperate for a fresh start—even if it means hiding the limp that’s made her unmarriageable back East.
Blake never wanted anything more than a steady, practical wife to share the responsibilities of his home and the boy in his care. His days are measured in the rhythm of hammer on steel and the changing of seasons. But when Penny arrives just as winter blankets Fletcher Canyon, stirs something deep within him. He finds himself drawn to her quiet strength and courage—qualities that speak to the untamed beauty of the Colorado mountains themselves.
As the holiday season unfolds, Penny and Blake grow closer, discovering that love can thrive even in the harshest conditions. But when disaster strikes during a Christmas tree expedition, their resilience faces its first true test. Through bitter cold and steep mountain passes, Penny will have to prove that her spirit is as strong as any man’s, and that she’s willing to fight for the family she’s begun to build.
