About this listen
She's a spirited bootlegger’s daughter from the south who is on the run. Bethany Murphy is stubborn and resilient, looking for a fresh start, and determined to achieve her happily ever after. “Even chickens understand the importance of companionship. My husband doesn’t realize what he’s missing; fortunately, I don’t give up easily.”
The relentless grip of destiny is as steadfast as the power of attraction. Will a proxy marriage, a ready-made family, and the spirit of Christmas bring more than either of them bargained for, yet everything they need?

She arrives with a quiet strength that hides a storm of loss—and a five-year-old son she didn’t mention in her letters. As the harsh winter closes in, Elias and Abigail must navigate their fragile new partnership, learning to ...

Christmas was just another cold day to survive—until he gave me a reason to hope… and a reason to fear losing it all.
