Janie Adams has been a single parent to her nephew since he was a baby. Fifteen years later, sheโs finally found out who his father might be, so the two of them travel across the country to find him. Sheโd do anything for this kid. But when they arrive in the small town of Wishing River, Montana, and Janie finally meets the ruggedly handsome cowboy sheโd been told had abandoned his son, his shocked response changes everything.
Aiden Rivers canโt dispute this is his kid when he sees his own features staring back at him, but he had no idea Janieโs sister was pregnant when she left him. He didnโt even know she had a sisterโclearly theyโd all been lied to. Now he has fifteen years of fatherhood to make up for and no idea how to be a dad. This was never in his plans.
Janie sticks around to help him ease into parenting, everything from showing him how to lure a sulky kid out of his bedroom to keeping up with the latest teen-speak. Together, they surprisingly make a good team, this city girl and country boy. But when the past catches up with them, Aiden and Janie must decide whatโs best for the boy who’s connecting them, not only for each otherโฆwhich could mean splitting them apart.

Exclusive Excerpt:
โAre you a rancher, too, Logan?โ Janie asked, and Aiden turned his attention to her. โYouโve got the right hat for it.โ
โNo, everyone out here wears cowboy hats. Youโll be wearing one, too, before long.โ Loganโs grin was bashful. Aiden had never seen bashful on him before. Though, with the image of Janie in a cowboy hat coming to mind, he couldnโt really blame him. โIโm a vet,โ Logan said. โI have a practice just outside of Wishing River.โ
Janie smiled at Logan like he just announced he was some kind of superhero. โReally? I have six months left of veterinary college.โ
Aidenโs stomach dropped as he watched the exchange, as the weird coincidence sank in. One vet, one almost vet, and oneโฆbartender who should have been a vet.
Logan grinned wider. โThatโs great. If youโre in town for a while, Iโm always on the lookout for new people. Are you taking time off from your regular job?โ
Her cheeks went a deeper pink, lifting one shoulder. โSort of. But I plan to go back as soon as I can.โ
โWeโre always in need of some extra help at the clinic, so if you want a job in the meantime, itโs great experience. You, too, Will. If you want to come and hang out, we could always use someone to give a little attention to the animals staying overnight.โ Logan pulled out his business card and handed it to her.
Janieโs eyes sparkled with excitement, and she accepted the card readily. And Will looked as happy as Aiden had ever seen him. โThat is so generous of you,โ she said, smiling.
A job at Loganโs was a hell of a lot better than a job in his bar. He should be happy about that. Instead he was watching Janie and Logan and Will bond over something that he also loved. That was juvenile, and heโd already dealt with that shit. Why was it coming up again now? Janie and Will deserved a break, and thatโs what he should be focusing on instead of thinking like an ass. Itโs just that he wanted to give them that break. โThatโs great,โ he said, forcing a grin. โGlad you guys were able to meet.โ
There were only three stalls with horses in them, but Aidenโs dream was to have them all filled one day and have someone else manage the bar. The familiar, musky smell of the barn, the sound of horses shuffling in their stalls, the soft whinnying, almost made him believe he was living is dream. Until he was reminded that he hadnโt ever fulfilled his dream. But this was second best, what he had going on here. He had the land, the horses, the dedication to them. It didnโt matter that he didnโt have a โDr.โ in front of his name.
โWell,โ Janie said, โweโll get back to the house. Itโs pretty cold out here. It was nice meeting you, Logan.โ
โYou, too, and you as well, Will. Hope Iโll be hearing from you, Janie.โ Loganโs grin was a little too flashy for Aidenโs liking. Hope Iโll be hearing from you should have been followed by about the job and not so open-ended.
Will gave a small wave, and the two of them walked out. Aidenโs shoulders relaxed as they left the barn. And then tensed again when Logan turned to him with a glint in his eyes. โFirst off, thatโs definitely your kid,โ Logan said. โThat sort of disgruntled eyebrow furrowing thing? And that one-sided dimple that women love for some reason thatโs always escaped me, because itโs essentially a defect in your face. Come on. Thatโs you. Second, you never told me Maxi had a sister like thatโฆlet alone who was going to be a vet and is probably the most gorgeous woman Iโve met in a long time.โ
Aiden walked over to the horse feeders, disappointed they were full. He needed to do something with his hands. He pulled his hat lower so Logan couldnโt comment on his โbrow furrowing,โ which he realized he was actually doing. Why was he getting bothered about Loganโs comment? It was a normal response. He felt the same way.
โHello? Did you hear me?โ Logan asked, walking over to him.
Aiden lifted his head and forced his eyebrows into their normal state. โSorry, I have a lot on my mindโlike the fact that I might have a teenage kid. Iโm not really thinking about how hot his aunt is.โ
Logan smirked. โOh, so you did notice.โ
โI have eyes. Itโs a fact, not a statement confirming interest.โ
