Surviving the winter may cost Lily her heart…
Lovely Lily Branson, newly arrived from England, learns that her wayward father has lost his Wyoming Territory cattle ranch in a card game to the intense, hardworking Jack Sinclair, foreman on a nearby ranch.
When a series of deadly winter storms sets in, Lily and Jack must work together to save the cattle and stay alive. There might be time to heal some wounds and mend some hearts. The historic setting is the terrible winter of 1886-1887, known a century ago as “The Big Die-Off.”

Another breathtaking book from Carla Kelly! I love how she incorporates historical details into her stories and shows you a lot about how harsh life really was (Wyoming in winter in 1886!) yet at the same time there are many sweet and tender and humorous moments that overshadow the tragedies. I was ready to stay snuggled up in front of a warm fire after reading about the cold, cold winter these characters survived. Loved the characters, including the four-legged ones!
