title: A Family For Christmas (Treasures Of The Rockies) (Volume 2)
author:  Mary Eason 
description: Mary Eason grew up in a small Texas town famous for, well not much of anything really. Being the baby of the family and quite a bit younger than her brothers and sister, Mary had plenty of time to entertain herself. Making up stories seem to come natural to her. As a pre-teen, Mary discovered romance novels and knew instinctively that was what she wanted to do with her over-active imagination. She wrote her first novel as a teen, (its tucked away somewhere never to see the light of day), but never really pursued her writing career seriously until a few years later, when she wrote her first romantic comedy and was hooked. Today, Mary still lives in Texas, and still writes about romance. In fact, she cant think of anything else shed rather do. Learn more about Mary Eason at www.maryeason.com.

  Prologue
  Jack Bryant’s gaze jerked to the ringing phone. He knew the
  number by heart and yet he still couldn’t bring himself to answer the
  call just yet.
  Liz Peters. The woman who had once been his mother-in-law had
  become far more in recent years. She’d been the one to bring him to
  G od when he’d been close to losing everything. Liz taught him the
  meaning of faith and forgiveness.
  He’d been expecting her call since he arrived. Dreading it. Liz
  was the only one who knew he’d returned to Austin. Jack hadn’t
  even told his best friend. He’d come back home for personal
  reasons.
