It had been a long time since single dad Edmund Fairfax had held a baby or woman for that matter. Now he wanted nothing more than to have Emily Bancroft and her child complete his family. And it seemed fate, in cahoots with Old Man Winter, did, too.
As the blizzard blew outside, Emily cradled her son close to her heart. Alone, she'd lose custody of him. Then Edmund offered her hope when he said, "Marry me." Good and kind, handsome to boot, he would make any woman the perfect husband. But the one way Emily could repay his gallant gesture was to make sure they never consummated the marriage.
Cozy up with Cathy Gillen Thacker's new trilogy for a case of cabin fever you'll never want to cure!
