When 26-year-old cowboy Holden O'Leary uprooted his brothers
from Texas to Montana, the new vet advertised for a nanny. No woman alive would
deny the Doc was as handsome a specimen as the sleek, hard-bodies horses he

young woman who applied for the job, and was stunned to find her three charges
ranged from 12 to 18 - charming,
immature, irresponsible, and capable of winning a piece of her shattered heart.
With his stubble, his six-pack and his tousled hair, she
thought Holden was sexy as hell. But she'd sworn off men after being implicated
by her former boyfriend in a hideous murder that had badly wounded her - and her

totally irresistible, and more vulnerable than vicious -- despite the warnings:
"She's real good with that innocent act, but don't let her fool you.... She'll
end up behind bars soon enough. "....
Would the past catch up with both of them? Who killed the bar
owner - and why? What was the real reason Holden had moved? How would the Doc

scandals, and shocking, long buried secrets? Will brother be pitted against
brother? When does true love exact a
price too great to pay? And - when is a life-threatening risk worth taking? Saddle up for one of today's most tempestuous
romances - laced with a dazzling double
mystery, and surrounded by more hunky cowboys than you can wave a lasso at....
