The Sheriff's Christmas Widow
(2026)(A book in the Brides of Montana series)
A novel by Faith Reynolds
They came looking for an outlaw’s money. The sheriff answered by marrying his widow.
Five weeks after Martha Calloway buries her husband, strangers start circling her Montana farm. They all want the same thing: the twelve thousand dollars Zeb Calloway stole before he died. Martha doesn’t have it, but no one believes her.
Now men are watching her windows, breaking into her cellar, and waiting for her to lead them to the loot.
Sheriff Jonah Tate knows she's telling the truth—but that her won’t keep her safe. The law gives him almost nothing he can use.
Marriage means he can give her something the law can’t. If Martha becomes Jonah’s wife, he can put her under his roof, his protection, and his name. The arrangement is supposed to last only until spring.
Separate rooms. No promises. No broken hearts.
Then Martha’s missing younger brother sends word from inside the outlaw gang, Christmas draws dangerously near, and the make-believe marriage begins to feel like the only home either of them wants.
Perfect for readers who love:
