Noelle Harper never imagined she’d be widowed before twenty-five''or stranded in a town where she knows no one, carrying a child she may not be able to provide for. With winter closing in and her last few coins nearly gone, she’s desperate enough to accept help from a stranger.
The fear behind Noelle’s brave smile draws the attention of a woman who makes her a bold offer: Her bachelor brother needs a wife and will marry her if she’ll have him, except Cade Mercer wants no part of marriage. He likes his quiet life and the freedom that comes with answering to no one. But when he meets the soft-spoken beauty with sorrow in her eyes, he can’t bring himself to turn her away''especially not with a baby on the way.
What begins as a marriage of necessity slowly becomes something far more dangerous. Noelle brings warmth and laughter back into Cade’s lonely house, while Cade gives her the safety she thought she’d lost forever. But just as he begins to dream of a future with her, an accident makes Cade realize too late that losing his wife would mean losing his heart, too.
