Steamy Western Contemporary Romance
Brock Hughes is barely holding it together. With a ranch drowning in debt, a preteen daughter, and a toddler demanding his attention, the widowed cowboy can't afford distractions-or heartbreak. After losing one wife to tragedy and another to city lights, the last thing he wants is a beautiful, headstrong nanny showing up uninvited and unraveling his carefully guarded world.
Carina Valencia is on a mission to rebuild her life, and the remote Hughes ranch seems like the perfect place to start. She doesn't care who did or didn't hire her-these kids need her, and she won't let them down. For Carina, the isolation is a blessing, a chance to heal her own wounds while helping a family in need.
But as tensions give way to trust and walls start to crumble, Brock and Carina must confront their painful pasts-and the undeniable spark between them. Can they take a chance on love, or will fear and loss drive them apart?
