A baker on the run.
A guarded sheriff.
And a mail-order-bride escape.

Clara Miller never meant to witness a murder, but when Chicago detectives dismiss her testimony, her life is on the line. Fleeing west as a mail-order-bride is her only shot at safety, until she discovers her intended groom is a small-town sheriff who sees her as more burden than blessing.

Sheriff Amos Goodwin refuses to run from a fight, even if it means entering a marriage of convenience to strengthen his reputation in town. But from the moment Clara stumbles into one of his arrests, disaster seems to follow her. Worse, a WANTED poster arrives naming her as a person of interest in a murder investigation. Amos must decide whether to uphold the law or risk everything to protect the woman who has captured his heart.

It's Christmas. But a storm is on its way, and trouble is closing in. Will he protect Clara at the cost of his badge? Can love survive when duty demands everything?
