Harley Kendrick knew what his widowed brother Jasper needed, a new wife and a mother for his baby son; so he advertised. The last thing he expected was for two ladies to arrive. He hadn’t counted on Jasper’s mulish opposition to the idea. It was shaping up to be a difficult Christmas. After the death of her drunkard father, April Cousins was left penniless and out of options. The advertisement in a six week old newspaper seemed an answer to a prayer. The man lived in Feather Hill, only a short journey from her old home. Time was short, April took a leap of faith and got on the stagecoach two days later. To her dismay, her travelling companion was Melody, the woman who had been conversing with Mr. Jasper Kendrick, and had agreed to become his bride. She confessed her purpose, and the ladies travelled on together, intending to keep each other safe. Two unmarried women travelling to the Kendrick ranch caused quite a stir. With Christmas looming and the heavy snow fall trapping them on the ranch, could there ever be a happy ending to this unseemly situation?
