Would-Be Wilderness Wife (2014)
“She’d thought surely the events of the day or the strange surroundings would have kept her awake last night. But the moment she’d snuggled under Drew’s quilt, which hinted of the scent of fir that seemed to cling to him, she’d fallen asleep, and only Maddie’s knock on the door had roused her.
