From Neighbor to Daddy Rancher Edmund McKay likes his life simple and quiet--everything feisty neighbor Lula May Barlow is not! But with a cattle rustler on the loose, he's duty-bound to protect the widowed mother, even without her approval. Yet he never expected to enjoy her company. And he certainly never thought her crowded, bustling house would be the first place he'd ever feel at home... After a harsh childhood, Lula May knows how to stand on her own two feet. She doesn't need Edmund's help--but she's starting to want it, all the same. So are her children, who clearly have matchmaking in mind. And when a threat from the past resurfaces, she realizes all that's at stake...including her chance for a lifetime of love.
