Book 1
The Rancher's Ready-Made Family
With a little girl to raise, widowed single father Dawson Marshall could sure use some help-he just didn't expect it to come from city girl Isabelle Redfield. Dawson has encountered city women before. He even married one. What if his little girl grows attached to Isabelle and the woman tires of ranch life just like his late wife did?
For heiress Isabelle, the fledgling Western town of Bella Creek, Montana, offers something more meaningful than her wealth: a chance to forge a useful life. But if she wants the townsfolk to value her for more than her money, she has to keep her identity hidden. A difficult feat, especially when it comes to the cynical cowboy whose sweet daughter she cares for after school. But will hiding the truth ruin her chance of earning Dawson's love?
Book 2
Temporary Family
After discovering one of her young students has been abandoned-along with his sisters-schoolteacher Sadie Young whisks them away to the safest place she knows...her own home. And when handsome cowboy Logan Marshal vows to assist her in caring for the children, she isn't sure she wants his help...but she needs it. If she lets Logan get too close, though, he may discover the secret she's convinced will be her ruin.
Logan Marshall isn't looking for a family. But with the parentless children and their unflappable teacher tugging at his heart, it appears he has one-at least temporarily. The kids would like nothing better than to have a real mother and father, and with Logan slowly falling for Sadie, their deepest wishes might just come true...
Book 3
Stand-in Daddy
Conner Marshall knows the baby on the doorstep isn't his-despite what the note says-but little Ellie needs a protector...and urgent medical care. Turning to the doctor's daughter and capable assistant, Kate Baker, for help, he keeps the truth to himself. Why should he care if Kate believes the worst of him? The wary rancher can't afford feelings for a woman who'll soon be moving east for medical school.
A promise to her dying grandmother decided Kate's future. She'll become a doctor, and forgo a family of her own. Now, tending to Ellie at the Marshall ranch, she sees just what she's sacrificing, especially when Ellie's mother returns. But the littlest matchmakers can sometimes make the biggest dreams come true...

Wanted: Convenient Wife
When Preacher Hugh Arness advertises for a marriage of convenience, the single father's not expecting Annie Marshall to apply. She's too vivacious-and far too pretty. Yet Annie connects with his withdrawn young son Evan, and he agrees to a trial period-which her grandfather will chaperone-until Christmas. By then he'll have found a candidate who doesn't make him long for more than he feels worthy of...
Security and her own home...Annie wants both, without the heartache love brings. Soon she's earning little Evan's trust, eager to show his papa that their partnership can work. She knows that Hugh needs tenderness too. And maybe, this Christmas could mark the end of their practical arrangement...and the start of a true union and real family.
