He’s the man she didn’t see coming—and the one she might not outrun.

Griffin  Turner thought he had life figured out—or at least under control. At  forty-two, he’s balancing single fatherhood, running the family ranch,  and surviving on his mom’s expert babysitting skills. But when a  diagnosis throws his world into chaos, he’s forced to hire a nanny to  keep his life from unraveling.

Enter Nola Brady.  Twenty-something, big dreams, and just passing through Wyoming on her  way to Nashville. With a voice like honey and the grit to match, Nola  takes the job with one goal: survive long enough to get her shot at the  big time. Love? Not part of the plan. But Griffin—with his slow smiles,  worn-in charm, and baby in tow—proves impossible to ignore.

What  starts with bickering over bottles and bedtimes turns into something  neither of them expected—something worth staying for. But when her  Nashville dreams come calling, Nola runs. Too bad Griffin’s not the type  to let the woman who’s stolen his heart—and his baby’s favorite  lullaby—walk away without a fight.

Because cowboys don’t quit, and this one’s about to show Nola that home isn’t a place. It’s a person.

Warning:  This cowboy’s got one hell of a soft side—but he’ll take a firm hand if  it means keeping his girl right where she belongs. And he’s not above  bringing the baby into his big, swoony plans.
