Love Fell with the First Snow

In a snowbound train, Shirley flees her wedding and, drugged by medication, spends a night with a stranger, then discovers she is pregnant. Ten months later she enters a marriage of convenience with the Lowe family's third son, unaware the family's stern head, Henry, is the man from that night. Misdiagnosed as infertile, Henry fights a private battle between enforced abstinence and a growing, forbidden longing. He shields Shirley in silence, hiding vulnerability and a fierce devotion that could scandalize the family. What began in that snowstorm becomes the fragile core of a bond he will defend at any cost. He thought himself a winter island until her presence thawed his defenses, and now he must decide whether to claim the warmth she unknowingly gave him.
