Texas Legacy Christmas by DiAnn Mills

First, we met Morgan from 1884 in Leather and Lace. Then in Lanterns and Lace, there was grant in 1895. Then in 1898, in Lightning and Lace, we met Travis. Finally, it's 1911. This time, the hero is Zack, and the book is A Texas Legacy Christmas. If you read the Texas Legacy series, you'll meet the whole Andrews family and watch their children grow up and have kids of their own.

Zack Kahler, a newspaper man at the New York Times and new owner of the Kahlerville newspaper, plans to move back home to Texas to run his new business. Before returning home, he is the victim of a couple of six-year-old pickpockets who steal his heart.

Chloe Weaver, thin and trembling from hunger, finds work in a boardinghouse keeping the books and helping the cook, but God’s not through blessing her. When she sees Zack and the twins, she remembers how Zack treated her years ago when they were both Miss Scott’s students. He remembers her too. He likes how the little girl has grown up in all her beauty and likes how she responds to the twins.

Chloe wonders if Zack loves her. Situations beyond his control have made it necessary to keep his distance from her. But how can he keep his distance when there is competition for her heart?

DiAnn Mills ends the Texas Legacy Series with a Christmas miracle. I enjoyed seeing the whole family back together. The twins’ wide-eyed wonder of their new surroundings was an appealing view of the city kids’ visit to a ranch.
