The Humbug Man
by Diana Palmer
It’s a Christmas miracle in Montana with New York Times bestselling author Diana Palmer’s beloved story, THE HUMBUG MAN.
Montana rancher Tate Hollister was the grouchiest man that widowed Maggie Jeffries had ever met. It’s Christmastime, and Maggie was determined not to let her Scrooge-like neighbor ruin her young son’s holiday. Nearly ten years old, Blake adored Tate for some reason Maggie couldn’t fathom.
But there’s more to Tate than his brusque manner. As the holiday season progressed, Maggie discovered that Tate—with his smoldering black eyes and roguish good looks—wasn’t completely immune to the Christmas spirit. In fact, his loving embrace might just be the gift of a lifetime…
Originally published November 1987 within the mass market paperback editions of SILHOUETTE CHRISTMAS STORIES anthology for Silhouette Books and October 2013 within the WHITE CHRISTMAS anthology for HQN.
