Her Wintry Baron

Montana, 1889. Klara Brandt is three hundred dollars from losing the store her husband left her. Elias Kessler is one marriage away from losing the family empire he inherited by accident. He proposes a business arrangement. She proposes terms he'll regret: pay off every widow's mortgage in Larkspur, publicly, or no wedding. He agrees. One winter. No future. But a blizzard, a smallpox outbreak, and a fire will not let a marriage stay a contract. By spring, the whole town has stopped calling him a Kessler, and started calling him hers. Then Klara finds the trust papers. Her name already on them. And a train ticket he's never meant to use. A historical western billionaire marriage of convenience romance about a cold man, a hard winter, and a town that chose them.
