About Christmas in Paradise:
When Sage Lightfoot falls in love with and marries Maggie Tucker in Bittner’s novel, PARADISE VALLEY, Maggie is carrying a child who is the product of an attack. Sage has vowed to love the child as his own … but can he? A Christmas “miracle” birth brings the answer in this short story, CHRISTMAS IN PARADISE. Love never fails.
EXCERPT FROM CHRISTMAS IN PARADISE
“Sage, if this baby at least belonged to James, it would be different. He was my legal husband. But those men shot him down and now I’m carrying a baby fathered by one of them.”
“And I made sure they’re all dead, didn’t I? Through it all, I fell in love with you. Have you ever once heard me call that child a bastard?”
Maggie quickly wiped at tears. “No. But I can’t help wondering if you’ve thought it.”
“And what did I tell you about that baby when I told you I wanted to marry you?”
Maggie faced him. “That you would love it like your own, and he or she would inherit part of this ranch like they had your own blood.”
“Am I a liar?”
Maggie sniffed. “No. Joe Cable once told me how honest you are, and that’s what the men like about you.”
“Then why are you doubting my word?” …
Maggie looked out at the heavenly colors and glorious beauty of Paradise Valley. … “It’s just me, I guess. You’re all man and so sure of yourself, and some men don’t want kids at all, let alone when they aren’t their own.”
Sage pulled her back into his arms. “Well, I do want kids. … I’ll love the one you’re carrying because I love his or her mother. … I’ve found the perfect woman to share this ranch with me, and as far as anyone other than you and me knows, that baby you’re carrying is mine.”
