Alice in Winterland (Seasons Mail Order Bride #3)
Annie Lane, Juliet James

So flee she does - from Texas to Seattle, and then to Montana - into the strong arms of blacksmith Gabe Calhoun - to become his mail order bride. At least, that's what she hopes ...
Unfortunately, Gabe's mother, for reasons of her own, takes an instant dislike to his bride-to-be, Alice. Will Gabe be able to risk his Ma's disapproval and marry his sweetheart? Or might distrust, gossip and accusations intrude, and threaten to tear their family apart?
Everyone has a lesson to learn - Gabe must learn to be his own man; his mother must learn to let go of her only child; and most importantly, Alice will learn that while she can run, no one can hide from their fate, not forever.
