Three romantic comedies in the BRIDES, BABIES AND BLIZZARDS series answers the question: What if a runaway bride, a schoolteacher on a fieldtrip and a young mother with her baby got stranded by a snowstorm, at the worst possible times, in the best possible places, with the men of their dreams?

SNOWBOUND BRIDE

Not only was Nora Hart Kingsley stranded in a blizzard, but she was stuck in her wedding gown! And she was attracting the attention of the far-too-good-looking lawman at the country roadside rest stop.

Nora blew in to Sheriff Sam Whittaker's county—and into his life—with the same gale force of the swirling snowstorm…and as surely took his breath away. Now it looked as though he and Nora would be holed up for the duration. Only, Sam aimed to convince her to stay with him for good. But first he'd have to get her out of that dress.

SNOW BABY

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, Emiily cradled her son close to her heart. Alone, she'd lose 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 consumated the marriage.
