Winter Awakening — Gina Marie Coon

Even though his sister had forgiven the woman connected with her recent troubles, Gage Nelson couldn't. Nobody is that naïve, he reasoned. So when a blizzard forces them together, no one is more surprised than he to discover that she really is exactly what she seems, a nice girl who is merely a victim of circumstances. That short few days not only changes his opinion of Andrea, it also pushes him to reassess his own life. And he begins to understand just how empty it is. Andrea Sims' opinion of herself wasn't any higher than that of her friend's brother, but for different reasons. All her life, she'd been dependent on others, often to her peril. But now that she had a baby on the way, she was determined to change. She knew that if she was ever to be worthwhile to anyone else, she needed to be content with herself.
