The lone cowboy of River Bend

"The man they're all talking about... Gossip has spread far and wide about the broken-hearted recluse of River's Bend - and who will be the lucky girl to heal him! But Nate Rolfe knows his isolated homestead offers no life for a woman. Plus he has more pressing matters on his mind than unwanted female attention, such as tracking the elusive band of cattle rustlers plaguing Fir Mountain, and the plight of his family's determined new housekeeper, Hannah Brooks, who is like no woman he's ever met before. Hannah will do anything to protect her illegitimate daughter, but with no family, no job and soon no home, the future looks bleak for a woman of her reputation. So now she has no choice but to turn to the family her outlaw lover warned her against contacting before he died. Only Nate is nothing but kind to her and little Jemma. As she is drawn into Nate's life - and tempted into his arms - Hannah must decide if she can trust him with both the truth of Jemma's birth, and her own bruised and wary heart." -- Provided by publisher.
