The Cowboy’s Christmas Blessing
Morning Glory Christmas Book 1
by Shirleen Davies
Genre: Sweet Contemporary Small-Town Western Romance
🎄A heartfelt cowboy Christmas romance about second chances, small-town healing, and the power of love.🎄
He left her behind once. This Christmas, will love bring him home for good?
After six long years, two military deployments, and a grueling recovery from an IED blast, Zachary Caldwell is finally home in Morning Glory, Wyoming, and the Flying D Ranch. He never thought he’d see the snow-covered streets of his hometown again… or the woman whose heart he broke with nothing more than a phone call.
Julia Grant has spent years rebuilding her life. She finds comfort in her job as a nurse at Mercy Clinic, the cozy routines of the Morning Glory Inn, and the stability of her small town. But when Zach walks through her door just weeks before Christmas, old memories and deeper feelings come rushing back.
She once dreamed of a future with him. Marriage. Family. A love that stays.
But dreams don’t always survive war, distance, and silence.
As Zach confronts the truth about his past, including the reason his parents abandoned him, Julia must decide if she’s willing to risk her heart a second time. Can she believe in him again when he’s still learning how to believe in himself?
Set against a backdrop of twinkling lights, blizzards, and heartwarming holiday traditions, The Cowboy’s Christmas Blessing is a clean, wholesome contemporary western romance about healing, forgiveness, and finding your way back to the one who never left your heart.

A laugh drifted from the direction of the kitchen. Julia recognized her aunt’s distinctive chuckle, followed by the deeper rumble of a male voice responding. Julia’s fingers froze on the envelope she’d been opening. The voice wasn’t familiar enough to place, yet something about its timbre sent an electric current up her spine.
She listened harder, her breathing shallow. The male voice spoke again, the words indistinct, but the cadence unmistakable. Julia’s chest constricted as if the air had thinned. Her hands went cold despite the warmth of the lobby.
It couldn’t be. Not after all these years. Not without warning.
The Cowboy’s Christmas Gift
Morning Glory Christmas Book 2
🎄A heartfelt later in life cowboy Christmas romance about second chances, small-town healing, and the power of love.🎄
Clean and wholesome contemporary western romance.
The Snowstorm Was Just the Beginning
Victoria Palmer hadn’t expected to spend Christmas in a town so small it barely made her GPS. But after a painful divorce and the betrayal of a husband now living with someone half her age, her twin sons insisted she escape the glitz of Beverly Hills for the snowy calm of Morning Glory, Wyoming. One snowstorm, two missed turns, and a very arrogant cowboy later, Victoria settles herself at the Morning Glory Inn—cold, flustered, and anything but merry.
Gabe Dupree never expected a spoiled city woman to march into his family’s inn, insult his hospitality, and throw his quiet December into disarray. A widower devoted to his daughter and his ranch, Gabe made peace with solitude years ago. But Victoria’s arrival brings disruption—and a spark he never thought he’d feel again.
As snow blankets the Wyoming landscape and the town gears up for its Christmas festivities, Victoria and Gabe are forced into each other’s paths more often than either prefers. Between tense encounters and accidental heart-to-hearts, they begin to uncover the hurt and longing hidden beneath their defenses.
Sometimes love doesn’t come wrapped in ribbons. Sometimes, it rides in on a snowstorm.
Neither are in Morning Glory looking for love, but sometimes the best gifts come when you least expect them—wrapped not in ribbons, but in second chances.
The Cowboy’s Christmas Gift is Book 2 in the Morning Glory Christmas series—a sweet, later in life, contemporary western romance full of holiday charm, second chances, and heartfelt family moments. Perfect for readers who love small-town Christmas romance, slow-burn love stories, and strong, swoon-worthy cowboys. Guaranteed HEA.

A photograph had fallen from Victoria’s wallet. It was a picture of her sons, taken during their last family vacation before the divorce. It lay face up between them, the young men’s smiling faces captured in the afternoon light on a Maui beach. Gabe paused, studying the image with unexpected gentleness.
Victoria reached for it at the same moment Gabe extended his hand. Their fingers brushed over the photograph, the contact sending an electric current up Victoria’s arm. She inhaled sharply, surprised by the intensity of the sensation.
Gabe’s eyes lifted to hers, widening slightly as if he’d felt it, too. For a suspended moment, they remained frozen, fingertips connected over the image of her sons, awareness crackling between them like winter electricity.
The Cowboy’s Christmas Surprise
Morning Glory Christmas Book 3
Clean and wholesome contemporary western romance.
🎄A heartfelt cowboy Christmas romance about small-town healing and the power of love.🎄
Snowstorms, Secrets… and an Unexpected Family Christmas
Ethan Webster thought he had everything figured out—thriving career in Denver, a sleek loft, and weekends on the ski slopes. But one phone call from Italy changes everything. His sister and brother-in-law are gone, and their three young children need him now more than ever. Leaving the city behind, Ethan returns to Morning Glory, Wyoming—a snowy, small-town haven tucked into the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
Back in the hometown he never thought he’d live in again, Ethan leans on the one person he’s always trusted. Makayla Dupree. A dedicated veterinarian and lifelong friend, Makayla once taught him to ride horses and stood up for him when no one else would. This Christmas, she’s standing by him once again… this time to support him through his grief.
As the town sparkles with Christmas lights and the scent of pine fills the air, Ethan finds comfort in Makayla’s quiet strength, and sees her in a way he never did before. Their bond has always been strong, but grief, responsibility, and the magic of the season spark something deeper. Something that looks a lot like love.
But navigating newfound feelings and unexpected responsibilities isn’t easy. With the children still mourning, and Ethan unsure about his future, will the season of miracles bring them together—or pull them apart?
The Cowboy’s Christmas Surprise is a clean and wholesome Christmas romance filled with heartfelt family moments, small-town charm, slow-burning love, and the promise of a surprise love. Perfect for fans of cowboy heroes, emotional reunions, and uplifting holiday reads. It is book three in the Morning Glory Christmas series and features a guaranteed happy ending.

Makayla gripped the steering wheel tighter, her knuckles whitening. She’d known Audrey since childhood, had watched her grow up alongside Ethan, had celebrated her wedding and the births of her children.
The mountains surrounding Morning Glory stood unchanged against the horizon, their permanence almost offensive in contrast to the fragility of human life. Makayla drove in a trance, muscle memory guiding her along familiar roads while her thoughts spun with grief and concern.
By the time she reached the highway leading back to town, she’d made her decision. She would call Ethan tonight, offer whatever support he needed. The children would need stability, comfort, and a caring heart. She couldn’t bring their parents back, couldn’t heal the wound torn through their young lives, but she could stand beside them as they faced the unbearable.
It was what friends did in Morning Glory. It was what Audrey would have done for her.
Shirleen Davies believes love stories are best served with a dash of grit, a few stumbles, and a whole lot of heart.
She writes contemporary and historical romance about everyday folks who don’t always get it right the first time, but keep trying anyway. Raised near the sunny coast of Southern California, Shirleen spent her childhood bouncing between the beach and her grandparents’ farm, where she learned that nothing beats the smell of fresh hay or the quiet wisdom of a rocking chair on a porch.
Armed with degrees from San Diego State University and the University of Maryland (plus an unofficial PhD in people-watching and life experience), she crafts emotionally rich stories filled with flawed, stubborn, hopeful characters who discover love where they least expect it.
When she’s not writing about cowboys, deputies, or the women strong enough to tame them, Shirleen enjoys life in a picturesque northern Arizona town with her husband. She’s the proud mom of two grown sons, still believes in happy endings, and is convinced that redemption is just one good story away.

Question for author-What message or theme do you want readers to take away from this book?
Hi Soha,
This series is about personal challenges and the choices made to go forward. These stories illustrate the transformative power of forgiveness and the importance of moving forward without letting challenges overwhelm us. They illustrate the power of the season.
Thank you for the question!
Shirleen
I love small town romance.
Hi Shelly,
So do I, which is why my books take place in small, tight communities with everyday people facing the same obstacles, fears, joys, and love that many of us deal with in our lives!
Shirleen
What is your favorite part of the writing process?
Hi Tracie,
Great question. Probably imagining the story in my head and being able to translate it into the book with the same emotion. This series showcases three distinct couples with varying levels of emotion. Hopefully, I was able to illustrate this in their stories.
Best to you,
Shirleen Davies

"I absolutely adored The Cowboy's Christmas Blessing!
Shirleen Davies did a fantastic job capturing the magic of a small-town Christmas in Morning Glory, Wyoming. The story of Zach and Julia was a beautiful journey of second chances. I really felt invested in their relationship and the pain they both experienced. Watching Zach overcome his past traumas and seeing Julia open her heart again was incredibly heartwarming. It was the perfect blend of sweet, clean romance and emotional depth. A truly wonderful read that put me right in the holiday spirit!"
