The lawman lassoes a family

the long version

"After her policeman husband died in the line of duty, Vicki Templeton swore off lawmen, both for her sake, and her four-year-old daughter's. But when she moves to Conard County, Wyoming, Vicki can't help falling for a new man in uniform: her handsome new neighbour, Dan. A widower himself, sheriff's deputy Dan Casey knows about loss. He tries to keep away from beautiful Vicki and little Krystal, but they make him long for the family he's always dreamt of. It's the one thing they're most afraid of ... but opening their hearts could grant Vicki and Dan a magical future."--Publisher description.
