When Jessy Monroe is stranded at a Minnesota bus stop during a raging blizzard, the last thing she expects is the kindness of a stranger.

When Michael Forrester invites Jessy to share the holidays with his family, the last thing he expects is to fall in love.

Jessy, used to being alone and lonely, treasures the gift of Michael and his family. But the specter of his gorgeous ex-wife and her own inner demons threaten to take away everything she holds dear. To have the life she's always dreamed of, Jessy must fight her insecurity and learn how to let Michael — and his family — love her just as she is.
