Review: "Tenacity" by Bob Stidham
Review by Melissa CornwellHere's the blurb from Amazon:Jeff Prince is in Dallas and becomes embroiled in a fight that ends with a death. He quickly becomes the prime suspect and is jailed.

Excerpt from "A Cowboy Christmas" by Janette Kenny
Mr. Barclay expected her to cook a fine feast for his wedding. Her pa wanted her long gone. And all she wanted was the chance to spend what could be her last holiday with her ornery pa. Men!
