Thundering Meadows

A widowed, heavily pregnant mother. A recently released outlaw. What could possibly go wrong?

As a former outlaw, James Dodson has paid for his crimes. Everything's been taken from him except his sister and his pride, although his pride isn't worth much when he has lived a life full of misdeeds. With a chance to start over on his brother-in-law's ranch, he is determined to not let it go to waste.

Rose McGaven is desperate to find sanctuary for her young son and unborn child. She'll do anything to escape the clutches of her vicious brother-in-law who only has one thing on his mind, and it isn't protecting his late brother's wife.

When Rose and James find they are the only passengers on a derailed train during a Christmas Eve blizzard, James comes to her rescue in more ways than one. He offers her his name as worthless as it may seem. As she looks into his dark brown eyes, her heart flutters, and she takes a chance on what he is offering.

As they navigate a path neither expected, difficulties from their pasts endanger their future, but James makes a promise he's not willing to neglect. Will Rose let James keep his promise or will she let fear rule her heart and let their chance at happiness disappear like a flame snuffed out from a harsh winter's breeze?
