Silent Night, Star-Lit Night

Welcome to Heywood, Oregon where three lost women find healing, hope and love under the bright light of the town's old Star Inn this Christmas season.Jed Taylor knows how to cowboy up on the range, and on the sales' floor of his family's rapidly growing western and ranch store in Central Washington, which is exactly where he would normally be a week before Christmas... but when he heard Mia O'Loughlin was planning a trip north, pregnant and alone, Jed's promise to her late husband kicked in. More Grinch than grace, he boarded a plane and headed to the coast, determined that his best friend's widow wouldn't make the long trek alone.It wasn't supposed to be like this, widowed, pregnant and all alone on the West Coast.E.R. nurse and Red Cross emergency responder Mia O'Loughlin had always taken life in full stride, but losing her deployed husband the week before she realized they were expecting their first child knocked her off-kilter. With Christmas...
