Warming a Cold Heart (Bear Creek Brides, Book 8)

A heart can freeze over when it's treated badly. Can the ice be melted in time for a new love to thrive?

The people of Bear Creek are used to Montana’s harsh winters, but nothing could have prepared them for the winter of 1895, when the worst blizzard they have ever seen threatens to destroy the town.

Ranch hand Peter Gibson has to work tirelessly to keep the cattle on the Jenkins’ ranch alive, but despite the blistering conditions, he has something else consuming his thoughts.

Shirley Freda has been scarred by love in the past, and all her attentions are focused on her life with her sisters. She’s wary of opening herself up to another man, but when Peter asks her to visit the ranch to have dinner with him and the Jenkins family, she can’t resist the allure of the handsome cowboy.

When the blizzard prevents her from returning home, Shirley throws herself into the efforts to keep the ranch running smoothly, and she and Peter grow closer. Peter is sure of his heart and longs for his relationship with Shirley to grow, but Shirley is guarded, her heart frozen by the traumas of her past.

Bear Creek needs the unity of the town if it’s to survive the storm, but will that same unity be enough to bring Shirley and Peter together? Is his love true enough to thaw her heart and help her overcome the wounds that threaten to keep her from happiness?

Warming a Cold Heart is a rich tale of love, passion, and healing. Join Shirley and Peter as they battle the harshest winter Bear Creek has ever seen. Will the thaw bring a new love story rising from the devastation?
