A Winter's Vow (Aster Ridge Ranch Book 1)

Della Hampton arrives in the remote mining town of Kirwin, Wyoming, seeking to disappear through a mail-order marriage. When she discovers her intended groom is dead, she finds herself stranded with no way out. Rather than leave, she decides to stay and seek help from Bastien Graham, a man determined to be left alone. Bastien came to Kirwin to escape his past, not to become responsible for a stranded bride. When Della refuses to leave, he agrees to her proposal: a fake marriage. As winter approaches, their arrangement begins to feel increasingly real, complicating the isolated life Bastien has worked to build. However, Bastien's past threatens to resurface, and if the truth reaches Della, her chance at a new life could disappear. What began as a deception may become the only thing keeping them together—or what ultimately destroys them. A Winter's Vow is the first book in the Aster Ridge Ranch series and can be read as a standalone or followed by A Cowboy's Vow.
