Nothing says Merry Christmas like a quick run up to the redwoods to visit old friends and meet some new. The grand prizewinner in Robyn Carr’s special edition holiday contest will get an opportunity pay the good folks at Virgin River a visit by stocking up on the first seven books of the series—courtesy of a $50 Borders shopping card. Or perhaps the winner will use the Borders credit for some last-minute shopping for the booklovers on her list. Either way, it’s sure to be a happy holiday for one lucky winner!

The popular Virgin River series by New York Times bestselling author Robyn Carr will continue with a new trilogy next year. FORBIDDEN FALLS (MIRA paperback, January 2010), Book 8 starts, the new year off right, followed by ANGEL’S PEAK(February) and MIDNIGHT ROAD (March). Cheers to a fantastic new year in Virgin River!

Reverend Noah Kincaid moved to Virgin River to re-open an abandoned church he bought on eBay. Like Noah, the place is a little empty inside and needs some loving care.

The young widower arrives ready to roll up his sleeves and build a place of worship and welcome, but he needs some help. And the Lord works in mysterious ways. With her tight shirts and short skirts, "Pastor's assistant" is not the description that springs to mind when Noah meets brassy, beautiful Ellie Baldwin. But the former exotic dancer needs a respectable job like the one Noah advertises for so she can regain custody of her children. And Noah can’t help but admire her spunk and motherly determination.

The pastor and the stripper: an unlikely team to revitalize a church, much less build a future. The two have many differences, but in Virgin River anything is possible, and happiness is never out of the question.
