Widow Amy James can’t get through grocery shopping in Treasure Creek, Alaska, without a marriage proposal.

And she’s hardly flattered. Most of her “suitors” are after the treasure her great-grandfather had buried on her property. But only one man promised her late husband he’d take care of her and the boys: police chief Reed Truscott. True, Reed is handsome and honest and makes her feel safe. But his honorable marriage proposal is about obligation—not love. Unless he can convince her that his Christmas wish is to join her family forever.
