title: Her Guardian
author: Vaughn, V.
description: Marjorie gave up on love decades ago. After losing her true mate, she was sure that her life's purpose was to make sure Bear Mountain Tree Farm ran like clockwork, and she'd become the mother of the business she thought of as family. She almost didn't go on the vacation her bosses insisted she take during the slowest week of the business year. But when she finally chose a remote cabin retreat in the mountains of Colorado, she was determined to truly unplug from her world of taking care of everyone else. The last thing she expected or wanted was to end up with someone taking care of her. She definitely didn't want to fall in love.  Nick didn't intend to become a loner when he lost his true mate and took a job at a remote cabin resort in Colorado to heal his heart. He used to dream about the slim chance of finding a new true mate once he got over the loss of his first one. But as the years passed him by without a new love, he grew content with spreading joy at Lichenridge Cabins. When he discovers his only guest for the week of Christmas is his second chance at love, he can't believe his luck, but Marjorie doesn't feel the same way. It takes an avalanche trapping the two in a small cabin for Nick to get the opportunity to help her rediscover the joy of true-mate love. But can he dig through the ice to open up her heart?
