About the book

Marissa Devlin has vowed to protect her orphaned half brother -- even if it means becoming governess to the daughter of dark, brooding Holt McMaster. Marissa soon feels like a mother to Holt's little girl, but the magnificent cattle baron's guarded heart isn't so easily won! Holt has battled with trust in the past, so he's surprised to find that having Marissa in his home seems like the most natural thing in the world. Is it possible that the new nanny may be the perfect wife?
