The Christmas Bride's Choice (Christmas Brides of Colorado #1)
Faith Reynolds, Gretchen Wheeler

When Philadelphia schoolteacher Hannah Miller arrives in snow-bound Colorado Territory just before Christmas, she expects the poetic soul whose letters charmed her heart. Instead, she finds Wyatt Thompson – a man of few words and too many secrets. Trapped on his remote ranch as winter storms rage, Hannah discovers that actions speak louder than borrowed words – especially in the tender way Wyatt cares for his young, orphaned niece Esther.
Wyatt knows he's not the educated man Hannah deserves. Between running the ranch and coaxing smiles from his traumatized niece, he barely has time think about Christmas, let alone to regret letting his brother write those letters. Watching Hannah fill his home with warmth and transform Esther's grief into giggles, Wyatt realizes he's fighting a losing battle with his heart.
Facing a devastating blizzard and a shattering revelation, Hannah must will she trust in the quiet truth of Wyatt's heart, or let borrowed words steal their chance at becoming the family Esther desperately needs?
A Christmas mail-order bride romance featuring borrowed words, forced proximity, and the healing power of true love.
