Author: Shirleen Davies
Genre(s): Sweet, Contemporary Romance, Small-Town, Western

He left her behind once. This Christmas, will love bring him home for good?

Blurb: After six long years, two military deployments, and a grueling recovery from an IED blast, Zachary Caldwell is finally home in Morning Glory, Wyoming, and the Flying D Ranch. He never thought he’d see the snow-covered streets of his hometown again… or the woman whose heart he broke with nothing more than a phone call.

Julia Grant has spent years rebuilding her life. She finds comfort in her job as a nurse at Mercy Clinic, the cozy routines of the Morning Glory Inn, and the stability of her small town. But when Zach walks through her door just weeks before Christmas, old memories and deeper feelings come rushing back.

She once dreamed of a future with him. Marriage. Family. A love that stays.

But dreams don’t always survive war, distance, and silence.

As Zach confronts the truth about his past, including the reason his parents abandoned him, Julia must decide if she’s willing to risk her heart a second time. Can she believe in him again when he’s still learning how to believe in himself?

Set against a backdrop of twinkling lights, blizzards, and heartwarming holiday traditions, THE COWBOY’S CHRISTMAS BLESSING is a clean, wholesome contemporary western romance about healing, forgiveness, and finding your way back to the one who never left your heart.

A heartfelt cowboy Christmas romance about second chances, small-town healing, and the power of love.

Three years, five months, and eleven days since I’ve seen him, Julia thought, then winced at the revelation embedded in her mind. She hadn’t meant to count, hadn’t wanted to acknowledge tracking his absence.

“Are you okay?”

“I don’t know what I am.” Her free hand flew up to push through her hair, leaving it disheveled.

“Shocked. Angry. Confused. All of it at once.”

Series: Morning Glory Christmas, Book 2
Author: Shirleen Davies
Genre(s): Sweet, Contemporary Romance, Small-Town, Western

The Snowstorm Was Just the Beginning.

Victoria Palmer hadn’t expected to spend Christmas in a town so small it barely made her GPS. But after a painful divorce and the betrayal of a husband now living with someone half her age, her twin sons insisted she escape the glitz of Beverly Hills for the snowy calm of Morning Glory, Wyoming. One snowstorm, two missed turns, and a very arrogant cowboy later, Victoria settles herself at the Morning Glory Inn—cold, flustered, and anything but merry.

Gabe Dupree never expected a spoiled city woman to march into his family’s inn, insult his hospitality, and throw his quiet December into disarray. A widower devoted to his daughter and his ranch, Gabe made peace with solitude years ago. But Victoria’s arrival brings disruption—and a spark he never thought he’d feel again.

As snow blankets the Wyoming landscape and the town gears up for its Christmas festivities, Victoria and Gabe are forced into each other’s paths more often than either prefers. Between tense encounters and accidental heart-to-hearts, they begin to uncover the hurt and longing hidden beneath their defenses.

Sometimes love doesn’t come wrapped in ribbons. Sometimes, it rides in on a snowstorm.

Neither are in Morning Glory looking for love, but sometimes the best gifts come when you least expect them—wrapped not in ribbons, but in second chances.

A heartfelt later in life cowboy Christmas romance about second chances, small-town healing, and the power of love.

THE COWBOY’S CHRISTMAS GIFT is Book 2 in the MORNING GLORY CHRISTMAS series—a sweet, later in life, contemporary western romance full of holiday charm, second chances, and heartfelt family moments. Perfect for readers who love small-town Christmas romance, slow-burn love stories, and strong, swoon-worthy cowboys. Guaranteed HEA.

“Mia, when you’re done, stop by my office. We need to discuss the Christmas event schedule before I return to the ranch.”

“Of course,” Mia replied, her tone professional yet familiar.  The voice of someone accustomed to managing guests and her boss with equal skill.

With a final assessing look at Victoria, Gabe turned and strode across the lobby. His boots made little sound on the polished wood floor despite his size. He disappeared down the hallway behind the reception desk, leaving the air somehow lighter in his absence.

Victoria exhaled, unaware she’d been holding her breath. “Who was that miserable, obnoxious man?”

Author: Shirleen Davies
Genre(s): Sweet, Contemporary Romance, Small-Town, Western

Snowstorms, Secrets… and an Unexpected Family Christmas.

Blurb: Ethan Webster thought he had everything figured out—thriving career in Denver, a sleek loft, and weekends on the ski slopes. But one phone call from Italy changes everything. His sister and brother-in-law are gone, and their three young children need him now more than ever. Leaving the city behind, Ethan returns to Morning Glory, Wyoming—a snowy, small-town haven tucked into the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

Back in the hometown he never thought he’d live in again, Ethan leans on the one person he’s always trusted. Makayla Dupree. A dedicated veterinarian and lifelong friend, Makayla once taught him to ride horses and stood up for him when no one else would. This Christmas, she’s standing by him once again… this time to support him through his grief.

As the town sparkles with Christmas lights and the scent of pine fills the air, Ethan finds comfort in Makayla’s quiet strength, and sees her in a way he never did before. Their bond has always been strong, but grief, responsibility, and the magic of the season spark something deeper. Something that looks a lot like love.

But navigating newfound feelings and unexpected responsibilities isn’t easy. With the children still mourning, and Ethan unsure about his future, will the season of miracles bring them together—or pull them apart?

A heartfelt cowboy Christmas romance about small-town healing and the power of love.

“They’re expecting happy grandparents and a fun Christmas visit,” Ethan said, staring at the terminal building.

Makayla reached across the center console, covering his hand with hers. His skin felt cold despite the truck’s heater. “You won’t be alone. I’ll be right beside you.”

He turned his hand, gripping hers with unexpected strength. “Thank you, Mak.” The childhood nickname carried decades of shared history.

They sat together in silence, drawing strength from their connection while the clock ticked toward the children’s arrival.

Shirleen Davies believes love stories are best served with a dash of grit, a few stumbles, and a whole lot of heart.

She writes contemporary and historical romance about everyday folks who don’t always get it right the first time, but keep trying anyway. Raised near the sunny coast of Southern California, Shirleen spent her childhood bouncing between the beach and her grandparents’ farm, where she learned that nothing beats the smell of fresh hay or the quiet wisdom of a rocking chair on a porch.

Armed with degrees from San Diego State University and the University of Maryland (plus an unofficial PhD in people-watching and life experience), she crafts emotionally rich stories filled with flawed, stubborn, hopeful characters who discover love where they least expect it.

When she’s not writing about cowboys, deputies, or the women strong enough to tame them, Shirleen enjoys life in a picturesque northern Arizona town with her husband. She’s the proud mom of two grown sons, still believes in happy endings, and is convinced that redemption is just one good story away.
