Calendar Girls' Ranch Series

February "Val" Calendar is one of twelve adopted sisters, and she loves her entire huge and utterly crazy family. She really and truly does. It's just that lately...well, lately, she's been wondering about this empty feeling inside, this desire to be a part of something more. She wonders if it's a result of not knowing her birth family, and Val's initial research has indicated a few options open to her. She's determined to use them all in her search to find where she really belongs. Cord O'Connor is thrilled when he opens his front door one November afternoon to discover a gorgeous woman on his doorstep...but decidedly less thrilled when she tells him she might be his sister. He knows there's no way she's related to him, but before he can move their relationship in the direction he wants it to go, he's going to have to convince her of that, and the only option is to join her in her search for fulfillment. But the more he gets to know Val, the more Cord realizes finding her birth family isn't going to fill the emptiness inside her. It's up to him to prove to Val she is already as loved as she possibly could be! Now, if only he can convince her being related to him--not as a sibling--might be the most wonderful choice either of them has ever made, they'll both have a reason to be thankful this holiday season!

April Calendar might be a little obsessed with Christmas. Or a lot. As far as she's concerned, Christmas isn't just the most wonderful time of year, it's basically her reason for existing! Now, if she could—just once—manage to win the annual town Christmas Tree Decorating Contest and win the money her family's ranch so desperately needs, she'll be able to prove her Christmas obsession is actually useful!   Too bad she can't come up with a winning theme. And too bad she's paired up with the ranch's grumpy new handyman in her attempts to win the contest…no matter how hot he is.   Cole Carpenter only took on this new job because he wants to save money for the house he's building. He doesn't need the distraction of an adorable, far too energetic, Christmas-obsessed lady. And he definitely doesn't need to worry about some stupid tree-decorating contest.   But it's hard to deny her enthusiasm, though silly, is starting to make him feel pretty good inside. And it's impossible to deny how good she feels in his arms. Maybe there's something to this whole "Magic of the Christmas Season" thing after all. Maybe that's all it'll take for a grinch and an elf to find love this year!  

August "Sparky" Calendar is a simple sort of gal. Blue jeans, sneakers, and her colorful headwraps are all she needs in life…outside of her epic gaming laptop, her lucky voltmeter, and all of her ghost-hunting equipment. Sparky is determined to become Cauldron Valley's resident supernatural investigator, and is doing her best to sound professional, which is a little difficult when she keeps tripping over her own two feet.   Jax Weston is at his wits' end. He might be a high-powered CEO, but he can't function without sleep. And thanks to the strange noises and creepy voices haunting the house he just moved into, he hasn't been able to rest at all. When he hires a local ghost-hunter, he doesn't see any reason that "August" shouldn't move in with him for a week to investigate this strange phenomenon.   But the investigator isn't a man, as Jax has assumed. Instead, she's the adorable little bundle of energy he almost kissed at his brother wedding reception…and the attraction hasn't lessened. Sleep might be the last thing on Jax's mind, now that Sparky is living with him! Does she think of this relationship as just business, or will they be able to solve the mystery in time for Jax to convince her they make an astonishing team?

October Calendar wields a mean hammer. And rotary saw. And bit driver. As the resident handywoman on her family's ranch, she doesn't have time for something as silly as falling in love…even if her sisters do claim it's her turn. But she always has time for Lacey, her prize student, who has asked for her help to build her father something special, even though this means October is suddenly spending a lot more time dreaming about the girl's father and his gorgeous muscles.   Single dad Clint Montoya isn't afraid of a little hard work, which is a good thing, because he's been struggling to keep his head above water ever since his daughter came into his life. In an attempt to make ends meet, he started up a new business, but discovered pretty quickly he's run out of room in his tiny home to manage it. He simply needs more space, and luckily, that's where the intriguing October Calendar comes in; a woman he's had his eyes on ever since Lacey began taking her classes years ago. Clint loves how much October has influenced and shaped his daughter into the amazing young lady she is now, but can he convince her to help him do it on a more permanent basis?   October doesn't have any idea what's on Clint's mind, but when Lacey suddenly needs her, she'll move Heaven and Earth to help the girl. Thrown into Clint's life, she's determined to support the little family, even if it means her sisters will have more reasons to tease her about falling in love.

December "Dawn" Calendar has been blind her entire life, but that hasn't stopped her from living her life to the fullest on her family's ranch. An integral part of the family business, the Calendar Girls' Ranch, she uses her remarkable voice to lead the kids in song and music appreciation. But she knows there's one thing her sisters can do—have been doing—that she can't: falling in love and moving away. Even if she did manage to find someone who could love her, blindness and all, the ranch is her home. She can move around there as well as any sighted person, and just the thought of leaving is terrifying to her.   But what man would want to live with her and her parents? And then comes the night when a tap on her window reveals a man with a serious head injury, who can't recall his full name or his reason for being at her house. Todd's identity is shrouded in mystery, and it's impossible not to wonder if he arrived with nefarious intentions. But after a while...it ceases to matter. Because Todd is the funniest, sweetest man Dawn has ever met, and best of all, he seems to like her—and her home!—just as much. But his missing memory stands between them. Until he can remember who he is, and why he sought her out, the two of them won't be able to build their future together!
