Maud's Christmas Journey

Ian Ross has worked hard all his life, and finally, he's seeing the results: a prosperous ranch in Wise River, Montana, with a beautiful home he shares with his elderly parents, plus a sweet and pretty Mail Order Bride on the way.

But when his newly built home, the pride of Ross Hollow Ranch, burns down overnight, everything goes sour. Suddenly, Ian is back where he started, scrounging for supplies, and living in a hastily built shack. The last thing he wants or needs is the responsibility of a wife in the middle of winter.

But when Maude Smith arrives from Boston, Ian finds himself in a quandary. Calling off the engagement seems like the right thing to do. So why is he so jealous when his cousin Felix starts paying attention to Maude?

Christmas is just around the corner, and Ian is doing his best to face the future with courage. But he has some hard lessons to learn: pride can be dangerous, and it isn't the building that makes a house a home.
