Story
Iris James has every reason to run away from home. Living in her uncle’s cold, loveless household has stripped her of everything – including her hope for the future. When a matrimonial agency matches her up with a widower in Mountain Pass, Oregon, she’s only too glad to accept. Though the challenge of stepping into a dead woman’s shoes and becoming a wife and mother all at once will be difficult, she can’t believe it could be any worse than staying in Philadelphia. But there’s far more to the story than she expects – her new husband is haunted by the ghosts of his tragic past.

Publisher's Summary
The last thing Bonnie Ross wants is to leave her little home in Staunton, Virginia. But when her three stubborn brothers get the idea of moving into their heads, there’s no talking them out of it. Before she knows it, they’re on the way to a “golden opportunity” in Spring Valley, Texas. Her only consolation is the promise they’ll be settled by Christmas–and that there are plenty of bachelors in Texas.
But all is not what it should be in Spring Valley. The house they’ve bought, sight unseen, is a dilapidated mess, and the weather is freezing. Worst of all, there’s only one bachelor who has caught Bonnie’s eye–and he’s engaged to another.
When her brothers decide to chase another opportunity further west to California, Bonnie is left with a choice: to travel on, uprooting herself once again and leaving her new friends, or to stick it out in Spring Valley. Would it be more heartbreaking to say goodbye to her brothers–or to watch the man she loves wed someone else on Christmas Eve?
