Love For Lenore — Regina L. Tittel

A busted wagon wheel strands Lenore and her family on an isolated pass. Her search to find help results in a marriage to Heston Miller, a trapper who's forced to marry or lose his land.
Lenore had always determined she'd never settle for less than love, but love is an untamed emotion, and one can never tell where it might bloom - even in a frozen wilderness.
