About

Join us for high tea with romance authors Bailey Hannah and Julia McKay (pen name for Marissa Stapley), whose novels bring love, resilience, and renewal to the rugged beauty of ranch life. In Hannah’s Change of Hart, a single mother finds unexpected strength and the possibility of love through a kindhearted cowboy who helps guide her struggling son during a transformative summer. In McKay’s Christmas at the Ranch, a disgraced journalist returns to Evergreen and the Wilder family ranch, where first love and heartbreak wait amid family secrets.
