Pregnant widow Emma's already struggling to raise her children alone…and keep her debt-ridden ranch going. Rugged musician Cash can only mean trouble, no matter how well he repairs her broken fences, comforts her still-grieving children – or tempts her fiercely independent heart.

Cash is used to being nothing but trouble, yet if he can help his best friend's widow fix up his old homestead and get back on her feet, he'll have done something worthwhile for once. But Emma's strength and irresistible honesty are slowly showing him the man he truly is – one willing to risk everything to share her life forever.

From the moment Rudy Vaccaro saw her, he was a goner. Never mind the fact that his twelve–year–old daughter hated the house on site. The old girl might be nothing to look at, but Rudy saw her potential. So did Violet Kildare.... The house was supposed to be hers! Now Violet would have to find another place for her and her two sons to live. And then Rudy made an offer the struggling single mother couldn't refuse. There was plenty of room at the inn. But Rudy needed Violet's help – actually, he needed Violet, period. Somehow he had to show the once–burned mum that what was his was hers – and vice versa!
