with his brothers and their wives and kids. It was an intimate ceremony in a mountain meadow, sponsored by Liam’s adventure business. Everything was thriving now. Tucker had taken photos for Liam’s business, and some of the photos had gone viral on social media. Liam’s business still hadn’t settled down. Tucker didn’t think it ever would—his brother had a knack for adventures. The ranch itself was doing wonderfully. Cade and Becca had set up two bee colonies and were selling organic honey. They’d expanded the herd of cattle. They’d bought more sheep. Only a short time before, Cade had been worried about the ranch—now he leaned into his own success. It was wonderful to see.

And Tucker didn’t live there anymore.

He helped out as much as he could when he wasn’t taking photos of the local wildlife or going out on very short-term gigs. Anything longer than a weekend, he brought Avery and Shanna along. The three of them, it turned out, were great traveling companions. Shanna wanted to see the world as much as Tucker did, and it was good for Avery to take a break every once in a while from the constant press of patients. Not that she wanted fewer patients at the clinic—no, she wanted them all. But she wanted a long career, and that meant pacing herself.

It was good. Life was good. And Tucker had finally moved on from feeling like he had to make up for lost time. In a way, he’d always be trying to do that—but he no longer felt the crushing guilt of the ten lost years with Avery and Shanna. They were firmly in the past. There was only now, and a future that looked brighter by the day.

“—husband and wife,” the pastor said, jolting him out of his thoughts and out of the mesmerizing blue of Avery’s eyes. Tucker looked up to see a majestic pack of elk wander into the meadow behind the pastor. He reached for his camera on instinct, though it wasn’t there—of course Avery hadn’t let him carry it for the ceremony. She had compromised by letting him hand it off to Cade in the front row. As he turned to get it from his brother, Avery grabbed him by the lapels. She swung him back around to face her, and boom—he was lost in her eyes again.

She arched one eyebrow. “Did you hear that?” Her voice tugged at something deep inside him. “You may kiss the bride.”

Tucker leaned in and kissed Avery. Her lips fit against his like they were meant to be, and as the kiss deepened, he knew it was absolutely true.

BLURB

Trevor McCall doesn’t want to be a rancher, or settle down and become a family man. Now, however, he’s forced to not only take over his late parents’ ranch, but also unexpectedly raise his cousin’s four-year-old daughter, Jade.

Sure, he can run the place for the year-long stipulation specified in his parents’ will, but take care of a kid? No way. Nothing in his life has prepared him to be the father of a four-year-old girl. Complicating matters, Lacey Cameron, his sweet and pretty housekeeper, is leaving to open up her own B&B. Lacey has always lived at the McCall ranch—she can’t leave now when he needs her most. Desperate, Trevor makes a deal with her: Stay and help him with little Jade and in return he’ll help her fix up the B&B. Lacey agrees, and as the two of them work together, Trevor quickly realizes the girl he’s known all his life has grown into a beautiful woman, one who, to his shock, manages to find a crack in his hardened heart.

Lacey’s spent her entire life at the McCall ranch. Generations of Camerons have worked there, but she’s finally breaking free. For years she’s been saving for a B&B, and nothing’s going to stop her from finally realizing her dream and leaving the McCalls. Not that she doesn’t love them all. It’s that she loves one McCall a bit too much, even though she’d die before letting Trevor know how she feels. With this particular cowboy, love was never in the picture. But after the contractor for her B&B scams her, she can’t refuse Trevor’s offer to help. She can ignore the painful wrenching in her heart every time she hears his voice if it will get her business up and running. Then the completely unexpected happens: She realizes Trevor is just as attracted to her as she is to him.

But Trevor plans to leave as soon as his obligation to honor his parents’ last wishes is over. Even so, Lacey gives in to their attraction, knowing she’s just setting herself up for heartache. After all, better to have a broken heart than a lonely one…right?
