Stand-in rancher daddy

the long version

Rancher CJ Thorn isn't ready to graduate from uncle to brand–new daddy–but he has no choice. After his widowed brother runs off, a pair of adorable twins have no one but CJ...and lovely neighbour Molly Langley. She's helped with the girls for so long that she's almost part of the family. Almost. CJ knows his family isn't good enough for her. Not when his brother's actions have disgraced the Thorn name yet again. Watching CJ become a devoted father would soften any woman's heart. Yet Molly must remain immune. CJ deserves more than a woman who can't have children. Held back by fear, it'll take a disaster forcing the community together before they're ready to risk a chance on happiness.
