Pregnant, alone and on the run to protect her unborn
child, Laura Malone found herself stranded on a snowy
Colorado road, at the mercy of a stranger. Fortunately,
Gabriel Bradley's only intention that fateful night was to
provide her shelter.
She was an angel with midnight blue eyes and a shock of
blond hair, and Gabe might have thought she had come out
of the snowy night to save him -- if he were the kind of
man to believe in such things. But ever since he had lost
his beloved brother, he had lost hope. Now the only solace
Gabe took was in his solitude.
Together they weathered the storm, sharing their intimate
secrets and soon powerful passion. By the time the roads
had cleared, a promise had been made. For Gabe understood
Laura needed protection if she hoped to keep custody of
her child through the coming court battle.
For her sake, he was prepared to offer marriage. But his
motives weren't nearly so pure. Truthfully, this
beautiful, vulnerable stranger had given him an invaluable
gift. Life with Laura had given Gabe a reason for being --
courage to hope, and the power to dream that he could have
the future and the family he had once dreamed of . . .
