A Stranger in the Family (Bardville, Wyoming, Book 1) / Bardville, Wyoming (ePub)

He came for his son. He never expected her.

A sexy, intriguing stranger arrives out of the blue at Cambria Weston's family ranch, threatening the one thing she's learned since childhood to protect even more fiercely than her heart -- her family.

Bodie's discovery that he fathered a son 17 years ago starts a search that leads him to the warm and welcoming Weston family. That doesn't mean he's ready to tell them who he really is. Their cowboy B&B ranch is different from his North Carolina small-town home, yet he feels strongly connected to the place and the people – and not only to his son.

He knows he must tread lightly and fight against his take-charge determination taking over. But his response to Cambria is far more than he ever expected.

She's drawn to him on many levels . . . at the same time she doesn't trust him because she knows he's keeping secrets from her.

The sparks between Bodie and Cambria are real ... and so is the danger to his hopes for their future if his hidden identity as her brother's biological father is revealed and she finds out why he's really in Wyoming.

Three strangers arrive in rugged Bardville, Wyoming. They're never the same ... And neither are the people of Bardville. If you like strong women and the men who love them, read the acclaimed Bardville, Wyoming trilogy, an emotional contemporary western romance series that will capture your heart.

"In Book 1 Bodie stole my heart, in Book 2 Cully took my breath away, and in Book 3 I fell in love with Dax." – 5*
