A Colorado Christmas

THE GREATEST WESTERN WRITERS OF THE 21ST CENTURY

William W. Johnstone and J.A. Johnstone, the bestselling masters of the American frontier, take you back to the early days of Big Rock, Colorado, where stories are passed down from generation to generation. Where legends live on and heroes never die. And where one family’s Christmas gathering turns into a gunslinging fight for survival . . .

In the hearth and home of the Sugarloaf Ranch, Smoke and Sally Jenson prepare to welcome Preacher home for the holidays — unaware that their friend is trailed by a storm full of trouble.

On a mission of jealousy and vengeance, an old trapper is rescued by Ace and Chance Jensen from ruthless outlaws — and wanted by a driven bounty hunter named Luke Jensen, their long-lost uncle.

On a westbound train from the east, a determined charity worker risks her life to protect a young orphan who’s the heir to a fortune — and the target of gold-digging killers.

And, just released from prison, a criminal mastermind assembles a vicious gang of cutthroats to extract his final revenge against his enemy — the sheriff of Big Rock, Colorado . . .

With a massive blizzard brewing, a community in jeopardy, and a showdown ready to explode, these courageous pioneers are brought together by fate, fortune, and fury to forge peace on earth, good will toward men. But they’re going to have to fight for it. With guns. With grit. With glory. Because this Christmas, the greatest gift of all is ... staying alive.
