Deputy Elias Hawke has handled his share of trouble—but nothing like the night a newborn baby is left behind after a violent confrontation at the depot. With no mother to claim her and no clear answers, Elias does the only thing he can—he takes the child home. But winter in the Colorado Territory is unforgiving. Between his duties as deputy and the constant demands of his ranch, Elias is already stretched beyond his limits. A baby needs more than determination. She needs care, patience… and someone who knows how to give both. Nicolette Burton arrives in Georgetown with a single bag and a decision she can’t undo. She answered a matrimony advertisement to escape a life that was never truly hers—but what she finds is not the simple arrangement she expected. Instead, she finds a man holding a child that isn’t his… and a responsibility he never asked for. She could leave. Instead, she stays. As the snow deepens and the cold presses in, Nicolette steps into a role she never planned—to care for a baby who depends on her, and to stand beside a man who doesn’t yet know how to share the weight he carries. Together, they begin to build something neither of them expected: a steady, hard-earned kind of home. But when a man from Nicolette’s past arrives, determined to reclaim what he believes is his, the fragile life they’ve created is put at risk. In a land where survival depends on trust… Elias and Nicolette must decide whether what they’ve built is strong enough to stand. Or if winter will take it from them before it has the chance to truly begin. 🌟 Curl up with this heartwarming historical romance today! 🌟 *** Get yours now for just $0.99 or FREE on Kindle Unlimited ***
