A family for Christmas

Upon a Midnight Clear by Gail Gaymer Martin

Nurse Callie Randolph feels a special connection to troubled child Nattie Hamilton. And after years of heartbreak, Callie is falling in love—with Nattie’s handsome father, David. It all seems perfect—a beautiful little girl who adores her and a kind man who challenges her heart. But does Callie have the strength to test her courage and tell David everything?

As the holiday season approaches, Calista Sheffield volunteers at a downtown Denver shelter, never expecting that her own heart will find healing. The mission’s director, handsome Grant Monohan, has devoted his life to helping those in need. But he’s wary of the wealthy CEO. Unless she shares her painful history, he’ll never believe they can have a future together. And that’s the only Christmas gift Calista truly wants.
