Synopsis:

Desperate and determined, Maggie Stanley grabs her small baby and runs into the snowy Idaho night. In her loneliest, blackest hour, she unexpectedly finds a warmth and comfort she has never known in the tender compassion of a handsome, down-and-out stranger. In Rafe Kendrick, Maggie recognizes a soul wounded like her own-though she knows she must never trust any man ever again. Rafe is more than he seems-an enigmatic man of secrets who could give Maggie the moon, had he not vowed to spend his life alone. But sometime's loves flame can transform a cold world into paradise-and a man who's lost nearly everything, a woman who's forgotten how to dream, and the helpless child who needs them both can become that most wondrous creation: a family

My Thoughts:

This is a great story where Rafe basically falls in love with Maggie at first sight, or very close to it. He then has to win her over. He lost his family (wife and 2 kids) in a horrible accident and never thought he'd love again. Maggie has suffered great abuse and is running for her life with her newborn baby. Maggie has reason to be timid, but needs help. Rafe falls completely for her baby and decides to get sober and start life over with Maggie.

Catherine Anderson writes a great heartwarming story.
