    About this ebook

    Sweet western time travel romance short story.

    Rayne Jordan isn't a happy woman. She takes a leave of absence from her job and rents a secluded cabin to recoup from her parents' deaths six months before. She has no family left, hates her life and her job. She doesn't even want to think about Christmas and spending it alone.

    While out walking in the snow, she decides to make a snow angel. It was always a favorite thing she enjoyed, but when she rolls over in the snow and starts to make the snow angel, she hears a cracking sound and realizes she is on thin ice instead of solid ground. The freezing water tugs at her and she feels herself slipping further into the icy water.

    Rayne awakens to find herself safe and sound in bed with a handsome cowboy watching over her, attending to her every need. The only thing is, she isn't in the year 2017 anymore, but 1884.

      Fallen Snow Angel - Cia Leah

      Dedicated to my brother, Lynn.  I love you little brother.

      PROLOGUE

      Present Day

      RAYNE JORDAN WATCHED the fat flakes swirl and drift on the wind to land on the ground. She loved the snow. Soon, a heavy, wet, blanket of white settled over the landscape around her, bending the trees under its weight, and still, it kept falling.

      Rayne was on a leave of absence from work for three weeks and the weatherman predicted a foot of snow. She didn’t care. She had everything she needed in the little cabin she had rented for her vacation, out in the middle of nowhere with no one close enough to bother her. The stress of losing her parents in a plane crash six months ago along with her job were more than she could handle. She needed this respite.

      It’s so blissful and quiet here, she sighed, walking through the snow to a small downward slope. Here, the snow was blowing and drifting already. She laughed and sat down on the ground, and then rolled over and over in the snow before making a snow angel, shocked, when she heard a distinctive cracking sound. She lay still as death, praying that it wasn’t what she thought, but all of a sudden, she felt herself falling downward.

      I’m on ice! Thin ice that’s not sturdy enough to hold my weight. Oh my God, she thought, scrambling to get a hold of the jagged edges as the freezing water enveloped her.

      Every time she got a solid grip, the ice in her hand broke off. She screamed in hopes that someone might be out there, but she knew her chances were very slim. Her clothes were wearing her down, too. She treaded water and wished she hadn’t worn her fleece-lined parka, sweat pants, and long underwear.

      So cold... she thought as she felt herself sinking.

      Chapter One

      Wisconsin 1884

      BLADE LANDON SAT FORWARD in the saddle and listened. He swore he heard a woman screaming, but what would a female be doing out here in these parts? His ranch was a mile back and nothing was out here but snow and an ice-covered pond.

      He watched his dog, Pepper, run across the pond. Pepper, you better not fall through, because I don’t want to have to come out there to get ya! He yelled when the dog stopped and started barking. His tail stood straight up like it did when he spied a pheasant. He was the best hunting dog around.

      What you got over there? Blade nudged his horse in the sides. He knew this pond like the back of his hand. It was pretty shallow where Pepper was, but he rode around the pond to the other side. He urged his horse out onto the thin ice knowing his horse’s hooves
