Wade's ranch home needs a woman's touch. Abigail's life needs a cowboy's touch.
Four years ago, rodeo celebrity Wade Ryan gave up his identity to protect his daughter. Now, settled on a ranch in Big Sky Country, he lives in obscurity, his heart guarded by a high, thick fence. Abigail Jones isn't sure how she went from big-city columnist to small-town nanny, but her new charge is growing on her, to say nothing of her ruggedly handsome boss. Love blossoms between Abigail and Wade--despite her better judgment. Will the secrets she brought with her to Moose Creek, Montana separate her from the cowboy who finally captured her heart?
Review
Abigail loves her job! She loves being a reporter and finding the truth in current and relevant stories in her town. However Abigail is also suffering from high blood pressure which is compounded by the fact that she is a workaholic. Abigail’s mother (and boss) decides a break is in order for Abigail and suggests (ahem-forces) her to take a vacation. Reluctantly, Abigail agrees and heads out to her Aunt Lucy’s Montana home. As luck would have it when she gets to Montana circumstances lead her to a nanny position taking care of a little girl named Maddy.
Maddy’s father is hot….smoking hot and he’s a cowboy (aka rodeo star cowboy Wade Ryan) who quickly disappeared off the scene after his wife's mysterious death. Abigail of course is intrigued, not able to let her investigative streak sleep, begins to look into Wades past and the mystery surrounding his wife. As the days of nanny car go by the chemistry continues to build around their relationship, but guilt and shameful pasts both inhibit them to not take the next step, slowly though the two begin healing and the future hasn't looked sweeter. After much investigating and research, Abigail learns the truth and the story is explosive, one that could launch her mothers magazine into super stardom, but at the same time could seriously hurt Wade….what’s a girl to do? Well if it were me Id take the hot ranch man and make a run for it….but characters have a mind of their own and the answer may surprise you as our main character seriously struggles over the dilemma she’s facing.
This was my first Denise Hunter book and I'm so excited to have found this fun and talented author. Im eagerly anticipating meeting more of her characters as I devour her books. Hunters writing is wholesome yet full of enough reality and moral dilemma to relate it to real life. Don't mistake this for a cheesy western cowboy meets city girl. Its actually a very tender and warm hearted love story.
