The Gift — Donna Dalton

All reformed prostitute Eva Baird wants for Christmas is to have her daughter back in her arms. But gun-toting outlaws, spiteful in-laws, and a sweet-talking stranger with arresting gray eyes threaten to turn her dream into a lump of coal.

Ex-bank robber Lyle Haggard has come to Louisville to do some shopping for Christmas. What he finds is a gift more precious than gold.
