Allison Kendricks left her fiancé, Bryce, the day of the wedding because she found out he was gay and needed her to cover for him so that his senatorial seat would not be jeopardized. His “boyfriend” handed her a pre-nuptial to sign stating that she would never give away his secret and would not fight the fact that he continued his relationship with the “other.” Allison did not really love him, but she had quit her job and moved across country to live with him in Washington. Unfortunately, she took off from Bryce’s home without changing clothes or checking the weather report. She found herself in the middle of a blizzard, lost in Wyoming in her wedding gown.

She was led by a older woman in a leather fringe-trimmed dress to a ranch house where she found a young man and a baby boy. C.J. Hall, owner of the “Crazy H” ranch could not believe that anyone was traveling in a storm like this one. His nephew was staying with him because his dad could not get home from town because of the storm. Allison and C.J. became interested in each other quickly and, even having no prior experience with babies, Allison started helping with Trevor.

How they made it through a family Christmas, one brother a flirt and one a skeptic, one sister a matchmaker and all of them wonderfully accepting of Allison and the wrong brother! Did CJ and Allison live through all the problems? What could possibly be the outcome of this Christmas season? And what about that Indian lady in the leather fringed dress motioning for Allison to take a certain road which led to the Crazy H Ranch? I heartily recommend this book. You will definitely not be sorry! I guarantee it!
