Snow Baby — Cathy Gillen Thacker

A marriage of convenience?

It had been a long time since single dad Edmund Fairfax had held a baby -- or woman for that matter. Now he wanted nothing more than to have Emily Bancroft and her child complete his family. And it seemed fate, in cahoots with Old Man Winter, did, too.

As the blizzard blew outside, Emily cradled her son close to her heart. Alone, she'd lost custody of him. Then Edmund offered her hope when he said, "Marry Me." Good and kind, handsome to boot, he would make any woman the perfect husband. But the one way Emily could repay his gallant gesture was to make sure they never consummated the marriage.
