Winter Woman by Jenna Kernan

Her Prayer Was Simple: “Dear God, Let Me Die!”

But Cordelia Channing - preacher’s wife, preacher’s widow - lived and was born anew as Winter Woman, a woman of power who’d survived the deadliest season in the mountains alone.

She knew she could never do it again. Though perhaps there is no need, for Providence had sent her Thomas Nash, an enigmatic Mountain Man who stirred the deep places in her questing soul.

Nash had come west to lose himself, to rail at the fates that seemed ready to destroy his life at every turn. But somehow those same fates now saw fit to put Delia in his care… And though he was fighting it at every turn, Delia was transforming his life in ways he’d thought forever lost…!

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS: 4 Rose Read

Cordelia has done what no other white woman has ever done: she survived through a winter alone in the Rocky Mountains. When she is found in the spring by Flathead Indians, they take her to a trapper so he can keep her or return her to her people.

Thomas Nash has run away from his past into the mountains after a tragedy took his young wife. Living alone, trapping, and not being responsible for another human being is all Nash wants to do, not nursemaid a woman. He agrees to keep her until fall when he travels down the mountain to sell his furs. But between spring and fall a lot can happen to change this mountain man. Delia delights and surprises this hard-hearted man until he doesn't want her to ever leave his side.

WINTER WOMAN is Jenna Kernan's debut book, and if this book is what readers have to go by, then we have some wonderful adventures in store with this author. I enjoyed Delia as she talked Nash's ears off, following behind him like a shadow, learning everything she could so he wouldn't leave her behind. I am keeping my fingers cross that Ms. Kernan already has her second book in the works. If you love frontier romance, then this is the perfect afternoon read.
