The Baby and the Guardian - Christmas Cabin, #1

A baby in danger, a man in turmoil, and a woman determined to save them both. Wisconsin, 1929-When her best friend is murdered, Eira Mae Pryce gains guardianship over her friend's baby. A baby in danger. Charged with the child's protection, she must outrun a snowstorm, her grief, and a killer to seek refuge with the man who saved her life last Christmas. All ex-sheriff Casper Yarwood wants for Christmas is to be left alone.
With failure ringing in his ears, he retreated to his family's cabin in the densely wooded portion of his former jurisdiction. But when his uncle's secretary--and the woman he believes he failed--arrives on his doorstep with an endangered child, Casper cannot turn them away. Casper and Eira Mae face impossible odds that require facing their pasts, sacrificing their futures, and ignoring their growing feelings for one another.
But they'll do so if it means they keep their charge alive long enough to experience his first Christmas. One cabin in the Northwoods ... a decade of Christmas miracles.  Read the whole series:Prequel: The Sheriff and the OutlawBook One: The Baby and the Guardian
