Her prayer was simple: "Dear God, let me die!"

But Cordelia Channing — preacher's wife, preacher's widow — lived and was born anew as Winter Woman, a woman of power who'd survived the deadliest season in the mountains alone.

Wealthy socialite Eleanor Hart has all her naive illusions shattered by the rugged trapper Tanner Price, a man so direct and passionate it is hard for her not to be the same. Having found forbidden pleasure in Tanner's arms, how can Eleanor ever return to the privileged prison of a world she's left behind?

Jake Turner was a man of secrets…and even a woman he'd saved from a Crow massacre couldn't be privy to his true mission. But Emma Lancing was a woman of surprises, blossoming like a cactus rose during their arduous trek through the Western wilderness. Resourceful, brave and beautiful, she alone made him question his solitary life by proving to be the perfect partner for his adventurous soul!

Bridget's boldness in breaking him out of jail was the jolt Cole needed to give his life purpose again. But with a posse at their heels and the mountain looming, she couldn't help but wonder if putting her trust in this tough, life-hardened man wasn't the biggest danger of all...
