A woman desperate to
begin again. A man who longs for connection. Only a baby stands in the way of
their happily ever after.
Charlotte Reynolds lost both her fiancé and her father during the War of
Northern Aggression. She and her sister Esther struggled to hang on to the
family’s home in Alexandria, Virginia. Unfortunately, Esther sacrificed her
virtue to pay the taxes and died as a result.
With no home, her sister's newborn, and the cool weather of winter in the
offing, Charlotte seizes on the chance to marry a man in the West. The only
catch is she must marry him sight unseen in a proxy ceremony. She will face any
obstacle to keep her nephew safe, even marry a Yankee!
Butch Whaley needs a woman’s chatter to get through the winter. The previous year he nearly went mad spending the season by himself on the land he homesteaded, land he had gotten free as a veteran of the recent war. He craved the noise of another person. Everyone knew women talked a lot, so a wife was guaranteed to end his loneliness.
Only, he wants one without encumbrances. A woman who has never been married
would suit him best. He is working hard to establish his ranch. He did not
intend for stepchildren to inherit it. No, it would not be like what happened
when Pa left his store to his stepson Ike instead of to Butch.
When he risks being caught in a snowstorm to collect his Christmas bride, he is
in for a shock. The woman arrives with a baby she says is hers.
Will Butch honor the promise he made when he signed the proxy form or will he
lose out on future happiness because of past hurt?

filled with stolen gold. All too soon, he expected Perkins’ brother would find
her and reclaim the gold.
When Perkins appeared, he would be
in Fox Creek to arrest him. He was a duly sworn United States marshal. Somehow,

What begins as a job for Travis
quickly heats up into attraction and love. Can he save Lily and her son from
the monster who is hot on her trail? Will her mistake as a fifteen-year-old
shatter Lily’s chance at lasting love?
