Taming of the Sheenans, book one: Since the loss of her family in a plane crash, Harley Diekerhoff has led a quiet life and keeps to herself. Taking the temporary job at the Copper Mountain Ranch as widower Brock Sheenan’s housekeeper seems perfect for her. But her calm cocoon is invaded with the arrival of Brock’s preteen twins, Mack and Molly, who’ve never experienced a proper Christmas, and before she knows it Harley’s determined to make their holiday perfect.
Annoyed at first by Harley’s interference, Brock is secretly pleased she’s changed Mack and Molly’s world. It doesn’t hurt that he finds Harley incredibly attractive, fierce, smart, and passionate. It’s also an added bonus that she’s not afraid to challenge him and get his blood heated! But when sparks fly, and the attractions sizzles between them, Harley’s not so sure she can handle something permanent with this dark, taciturn cowboy who doesn’t know how to let her in. But Brock is determined to hold on to her and pray for a Christmas miracle…
Can they overcome? Harley was heartbroken, having been through more pain than any 33 year old should have to go through. Widowed and now childless having lost her husband and three children in a senseless accident she ventures out to Montana to have a quiet Christmas working as a temporary housekeeper. Enter Brock who is a widower in his own right, ranch owner and quiet, closed off man. Imagine Harley’s surprise when a week into the job she discovers he is a father, not only that but of twins and they are…
I sniffled a little at the end..in a good way. I’m a sucker for a good Christmas story and when you add a sexy cowboy to the mix, well…. Harley is trying to escape her memories as she leaves California to take a temporary housekeeper/cook job over the holidays in Montana. She goes to work for a gruff rancher whose wife was killed in an accident years ago. She is happy cooking and caring for the cowboys working on the ranch and away from signs of the holidays and, especially, children. To her dismay, his eleven year old twins show up…
