Keeping Christmas
by B. J. Daniels

Ten years ago Dixie Bonner was the favorite wild child of a powerful Texas oilman. But after uncovering a dark family secret that cast suspicion on everyone close to her, she took off for a new life and never looked back.

Chance Walker was the cool-eyed cowboy hired to bring her home by Christmas. But after catching her, he couldn't decide if she was a blackmailer or a victim. Was he tempted to protect her because she told the truth—or was he falling for her? Holed up in a remote Montana cabin with the bad guys closing in, two stubborn souls needed to trust each other if they hoped to survive the season.

B. J. Daniels' Bio

All I ever wanted to be was a writer. I remember at age eight making that decision. But it would take me years before I admitted it to anyone else.

My father always told me I could be anything I wanted. And I believed him. I worked first at a newspaper as a feature's writer and later an editor. I sold my first short story to Woman's World in 1987. That day is one of the most exciting days of my life. My first fiction sale! A dream come true.

I sold another 35 short stories before I wrote and sold my first book, ODD MAN OUT, set in West Yellowstone, Montana where I grew up. "Romantic Times" gave the book 4 1/2 stars and nominated it for Best First Book and Best Intrigue for 1995. Most of my books are set in my home state of Montana. Others take me back to my Texas roots, the place I was born.

When I'm not writing, I'm playing. My husband and I love to travel, camp and boat. In the winter, I snowboard (who says you have to be a kid to snowboard). Every chance I get, I read. I love books. I love stories that take me away, that surprise and scare me, that make me laugh and cry. Those are the kind of books I try to write.

Lately, when not sitting in front of the computer, I've found myself sitting in front of my sewing machine. I love food. I love being creative. So, I figured why not make aprons. Please check out the 'Contest' link to find out more and even purchase your own B.J. Daniels apron.
