The Snowbound Bride By Davalynn Spencer

Summary

When Arabella Taubevaultsinto the back of a wagon with a snarling watch dog, she has no idea of the outcome; she just knows that she needs to escape from the clutches of her uncle's henchman; the man with the cold eyes and the brown bowler has been following her on the train all the way from Denver. Her Uncle Victor is determined to \"sell her off\" in marriage to the highest business bidder and Ara is just as determined to secure her freedom. It was dark. It was cold. It was starting to snow and Nate Horne needs to get home before the full force of the approaching Colorado snow storm prevents his return. Imagine his surprise when a dainty sneeze escapes from the tarp behind him; and his even bigger surprise when enormous dark eyes peer at him from the end of his pointed gun. Frightened, half¬frozen and at the point of tears, Ararbella Taube blows into Nate Horne's life like a blizzard. Just what is he going to do with this lovely creature? Snowbound for days and unable to retrieve her belongings or continue on her trip to Leadville for a tutoring position, Ara finds comfort in the Horne's remote ranch. Nate's mother, Lilly and his Uncle Buck become like family; a family that Ara has never experienced. As days turn into weeks and weeks approach months; Ara realizes that she never wants to leave this place. But Nate is a man of few words and an unknown danger still lingers; this enchanting Christmas story is a page turneruntil the very end.
