This city girl knows nothing about kids. She knows even less about cowboys. But when a single dad and royal pain needs help at home, this fashion diva is the only woman for the job... It wasn't like Lizzy wanted to wind up on the O'Sullivan ranch, heartbroken and betrayed. She certainly never planned on staying as long as she did, and her fashion job back in Chicago didn't either. Which is why she's no longer just a jilted bride, but an unemployed one too. But what does it matter? Everyone in the small town of Aspire already thinks she's pathetic, and the hottie cowboy with the teasing taunts and sexy smirk makes it abundantly clear that her presence on the ranch is just a nuisance. Unless, of course, he's kissing her senseless... Kit didn't mean to kiss the prissy Gucci girl, but impulse took over and now he can't stop thinking about her. But this attraction is the last thing he needs. Being a single dad to twin five-year-olds is no picnic, but his already hectic life gets a million times more chaotic when his built-in support system sets sail on a cruise. Oh yeah, he also needs to find a new home for his family, all while working full-time and trying not to notice his boss's gorgeous new houseguest. But when things get desperate and the only solution comes in the form of this leggy blonde, he has no choice but to accept her help-even though he knows he's diving headfirst into danger. Experience has taught him that women like Lizzy don't stay in Aspire. Definitely not for cowboys like him. And this time it's not just his heart on the line...
