PROTECTING THE BABY
When border patrol agent Kylie Perry’s informant is murdered, she makes good on her promise to raise the woman’s baby girl…but soon becomes the target of a killer. Now Kylie must find a way to juggle motherhood and her work on a joint task force aiming to capture a notorious drug kingpin—and somehow stay alive. Texas Ranger Austin Rivers, who’s partnering with Kylie on the case, is a lone wolf dedicated to his job. Yet as the criminal’s henchmen come after Kylie and her baby, Austin vows to protect them. And as Thanksgiving approaches, the man who never thought he was father material risks everything to save a woman and child who feel like family.

The Texas Ranger Holidays series is a Love Inspired Suspense continuity series that follows Texas Rangers and law enforcement officers as they protect vulnerable witnesses and pursue dangerous criminals during the holiday season. Each book combines romantic suspense with themes of faith, protection, and family.
The series begins with Thanksgiving Protector by Sharon Dunn, where a border patrol agent becomes the guardian of an informant’s baby and is targeted by a killer while working to stop a drug kingpin. It continues with Christmas Double Cross by Jodie Bailey, featuring an undercover Texas Ranger who must protect a woman mistaken for a criminal tied to a cartel. The series concludes with Texas Christmas Defender by Elizabeth Goddard, where a bodyguard-style protection case unfolds on a remote Texas ranch as a woman seeks to prove her innocence while evading a powerful enemy.
Set in rural Texas communities and ranchlands, the series highlights joint task force investigations, cartel activity, and high-risk protection assignments. Across all three books, the Texas Rangers work to bring criminals to justice while risking their lives to protect those in danger during Thanksgiving and Christmas.
