When feisty Amanda Erikson learns that her beloved sister and brother-in-law have passed away, leaving their three young children in the care of a bachelor uncle, she knows where her destiny lies. Convinced that she can do a better job at child-rearing than a rough-and-tumble cowboy, she heads for the wilds of Wyoming. But adventure-loving Amanda can't imagine the challenges that await her, as she takes on three needy children, a snake-infested homestead, and the most obstinate, domineering-and downright attractive-man she's ever had the misfortune to meet. Isaac Wright is fit to be tied. For three months the rangy cowboy has tried to run his ranch and care for his brother's children. Now all he wants is a little temporary help, not some interfering spinster who thinks she can waltz right in and take over the care of his nephew and nieces. Except that the woman who steps off the train at Lariat is no dried up old maid, but a ravishing green-eyed siren with the most enticing curves God ever made. Too bad she's also dang-blasted stubborn. It will take a miracle to set her straight…or maybe just a good man's love.
