Sometimes, the greatest gift is a place to belong.
After two tragic marriages and years of whispered judgments, Julia Mathers longs for a fresh start far from the cold stares of St. Louis. When a mail-order bride advertisement offers the promise of a quiet ranch life and two little girls in need of a mother, Julia dares to believe in second chances.
Grant McAllister wants only a capable woman to help raise his two young daughters and bring order back to a home hollowed by grief. He does not expect Julia’s quiet strength… or the shadows she carries with her.
As Christmas draws near and winter tightens its grip, Julia must earn the trust of two guarded little girls, face the harsh scrutiny of a small frontier town, and decide whether love can survive the truth she fears to share. When secrets surface and old sins threaten to destroy her fragile new beginning, Julia is forced to choose between running once more—or fight for the life she’s longed for.
This Christmas, a wounded heart finds belonging in the most unexpected place.
