The Snowbound Heart

A Cedar Bluff Christmas Romance

By: Nora Ashford

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

She came to capture the perfect small town. He will do anything to protect it.

Vivian Cross has spent ten years running from small-town roots she never wanted to claim. Now a jaded Hollywood location scout, she has finally found the picture-perfect Vermont village for a major Christmas movie. There is just one problem: the impossibly stubborn, infuriatingly handsome fire chief who seems determined to sabotage her every move.

Owen Briarwood knows exactly what happens when outsiders promise not to change anything. Four years after losing his wife, he has made himself the guardian of Cedar Bluff's traditions, its quiet streets, its soul. He will not let some city slicker turn his town into a circus, no matter how her sharp wit makes him forget why he is supposed to be difficult.

But when Owen's subtle sabotage keeps backfiring into accidental heroics, when committee meetings become charged with something neither expected, when a blizzard strands them together and old wounds finally find air, they will discover that protecting your heart and opening it might not be opposites after all.

Some loves arrive like snowfall: quietly, unexpectedly, transforming everything they touch.
