Summary from book jacket:

FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR NORA ROBERTS COMES A CLASSIC TALE OF ROMANCE TO WARM YOUR HEARTS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON ...

Pregnant, alone and on the run to protect her unborn child, Laura Malone found herself stranded on a snowy Colorado road, at the mercy of a stranger. Fortunately, Gabriel Bradley's only intention that fateful night was to provide her shelter.

She was an angel with midnight blue eyes and a shock of blond hair, and Gabe might have thought she had come out of the snowy night to save him --- if he were the kind of man to believe in such things. But ever since he had lost his beloved brother, he had lost hope. Now the only solace Gabe took was in his solitude.

Together they weathered the storm, sharing their intimate secrets and soon powerful passion. By the time the roads had cleared, a promise had been made. For Gabe understood Laura needed protection if she hoped to keep custody of her child through the coming court battle.

For her sake, he was prepared to offer marriage. But his motives weren't nearly so pure. Truthfully, this beautiful, vulnerable stranger had given him an invaluable gift. Life with Laura had given Gabe a reason for being --- courage to hope, and the power to dream that he could have the future and the family he had once dreamed of ...

The cover led me to think that this would be a Holiday Romance.
It isn't ... it's about a blizzard in April and what happens to two people whom become snowbound.
Cute story, nonetheless.

The book you selected from my TBR shelf way back in October.
Happy Reading and sorry that it took me so long to get this read and sent along to you.

Thanks, Edwina, for the Nora Roberts' novel (and the other one as well). What a great surprise to be found in my mail box. Will enjoy reading them both as I love romances.

A pregnant woman, a grieving man come together on a snowy mountain road when they nearly crash, setting up this contemporary romance.

Laura avoids hitting Gabriel, but still ends up crashing into a guard rail on a snowy spring night. Rescuing her, he takes her to his cabin, and in so doing, feels saved himself. Calling her his angel, he takes care of her and finds his artistic muse again.

Over the next few weeks, the snowed-in pair find a connection as a few of their secrets come out. Gabriel asks Laura to marry her to protect the infant from grandparents who want the child as their heir.

Can love blossom from this wedding? Will either of them admit to their growing love? Will Gabe love the baby and truly accept the child as his own? What will happen if her deceased husband's parents find her?

Love, redemption, and growth are just a few of the themes of this romance.
