The Christmas Rescue series combines two of Tanner’s signature elements: Western frontier romance and holiday settings. The 17 books, published in 2019-2021, follow a consistent pattern where someone is rescued during the Christmas season and romance follows. Most titles begin with “Rescuing” followed by the character type: the Preacher, the Cowboy, the Rancher, the Captain, the Wildcat, and more.

The holiday rescue premise creates natural urgency and warmth. Being saved during Christmas adds a layer of seasonal sentiment to each romance, and the variety of characters being rescued keeps the formula fresh across 17 entries.
