A young astronomer, a seemingly old maid, and an orphaned baby. By the time Christmas arrives, will they be a real family?
Arizona Territory - 1895
At age twenty, Deborah Hunter is discovering that approaching spinsterhood isn't the horrible prospect her mother has led her to believe. She wants more in life than just marriage and babies. But when the new astronomer in their small town of Pine Ridge suddenly becomes the guardian to his nine-month-old nephew, Deborah is called on to provide assistance. As she reluctantly accepts, little does she know she's about to start the adventure of her life by becoming part of a ready-made family.
Helping his boss find the perfect location to build his revolutionary new observatory isn't as easy as Jacob Bryers, a young astronomer, thought it would be. Not only are some of the residents of Pine Ridge against the idea, but he's suddenly been thrust into fatherhood and knows very little about taking care of a baby. Even worse, his faith has grown cold. When Deborah Hunter steps in at just the right moment, she offers more than her help. She offers hope.
But there's a new problem. While fighting feelings of attraction for each other, the baby's wealthy grandparents show up on Jacob's doorstep and want to take the baby back into their possession. A marriage of convenience seems the best solution. Can something that started out so simple turn into more? Jacob and Deborah will need a Christmas miracle--or two--to heal their hearts and help them forge a new love.
