Snowed In at Kettle Rock

Maren Ellis can save any wedding. She is less certain she can save a ranch.

Kettle Rock Ranch needs a new source of income before winter bills turn a hard year into a permanent loss. Maren has six weeks to transform a century-old Montana barn into a Christmas wedding venue, prove the business can work, and get back to Denver with the promotion she has spent years earning.

There is only one problem. Weston Morrow.

The ranch's eldest brother has spent his adult life protecting Kettle Rock from bad weather, bad cattle years, and bad ideas. To him, turning the family land into a wedding backdrop looks like the worst idea yet. To Maren, his refusal to change looks a lot like a plan to lose the place with dignity.

Then the blizzard hits early.

With the road closed, calves coming, vendors stranded, and Christmas Eve getting closer, Maren and Wes have no choice but to build the future side by side. The longer the snow falls, the harder it becomes to tell where their arguments end and something far more dangerous begins.

Because Maren came to Kettle Rock to make one perfect day.

She did not expect to find the life she wants after it.
