Ready to start a new life as a mail order bride, far from the reaches of her uncle, nineteen-year-old Catherine Statler has been expecting her world to change. But she does not expect to show up at her intended’s door with a stranger’s baby. Unwilling leave the baby alone, she takes her chances that her husband-to-be will still accept her, and the uninvited guest. After all, it’s almost Christmas, and winter is falling fast.
But Dawson Marcher, Katies’s fiancée, is not there to meet her—nor has he told anyone she’s coming. In fact, he’s gone missing, and his brother Clark reluctantly agrees to let Katie and infant stay with him until his brother returns. Clark Marcher is a gruff and distant man, but he is also kind and generous, in his way. And as he spends time with Katie and the tiny baby, his heart begins to open to them—and hers to him. But their agreement is not with each other …
Still, love has a way of working miracles—especially at Christmas.
